So, save for some 21 minute and change 5k results in which I won some age groups...oh yea and a 2nd place Clydesdale triathlon finish ( I don't care if the swim times were off Nate)...my results over the last 4 years have been nothing special! My rationalization to sleep better at night has always been "hey, at least I finished!"
Truth is, even though "yea, I want to do well", the special thing about this journey has been about the personal growth from my training experiences, the people I have met on the way, and the camaraderie I have gotten by training with my friends. Nate Dogg, B-Nutz, Stiney-Hiney, Chuck-D, and J-Rock have been awesome with their commitment to a lifestyle of fitness and adventure. I am lucky they let me suck wheel on the weekends! And Nate...I will beat you one day...one day! But more about the cheesy stuff later...for myself...for my accountability...here are most of my results over the last 4 years...along with some observations...
Clemson 05/2004: Swim: 750: 16:19/ Bike 11 miles: 38:22/ 5k run: 25:04/ Overall: 1:19:44

(*Several times I said to self: "Self, why do you do this?")
Tour of Tanglewood, 09/2005 My first Century, 100 mile bike ride
(*"There will be food for you at the finish"...yea at Brick Oven Pizza ya dirty liars!)
White Lake Sprint, 05/2007: S 750 20:11/ B 14 miles: 43:41/ 5k: 23:02/ OAll: 1:31:02

Triad Tri, 08/2007: Swim 300 yds: 5:07/ B10 miles: 34:21/ 3.1 trail: 26:34/ OAll: 1:08:47

Until next time, in which I will discuss about current barriers and my new adventure!
Zip it up and Zip it out!

Dude, could you have picked a WORSE post-marathon picture of me? I'm going to hack your blog and replace w/a puking shot!
I look forward to following your quest and being part of the training from time to time.
