So as many of you know 2007 was a pretty tough year for me, both professionally and personally. There was a lot of craziness in my racing including some serious injuries early in the year in Australia. I also had some persistent sickness throughout the year that kept me out of races. I did have some great wins and some breakthrough races, but was not as consistent as I wanted to be. In total I went 0-3 for Ironman starts this year, which is a HUGE disappointment for me.

Well as I said SEE YA LATER 2007!!!! It is a new year in 2008 and I am fricken ready to roll!!! I am changing some things around in my prep for the season, and have some solid goals set for next year that are and will be difficult but attained. I am super excited with some additional sponsors for next year, the most notable being K-Swiss. These guys are fired up for triathlon, and will be putting out some crazy cool gear, and will be a great support for me and the future of my racing. The rest of the sponsors we are still finalizing, but I can’t wait to get started with these influential companies.

I have gotten my fill (literally) of my off-season, and am fired up to get into some serious training. I have started my base and strength fazes and am feeling really good about my post off-season fitness. I will be staying in Bend this winter, but am planning at least one 3-week camp in some warm climate (hopefully Kona) for a good bike block. It is going to be a great 2008 so stay tuned to my blog for updates on my 2008 progress.

Happy New Year !!!!! ;)
