A Good Home for a New Bike....

OK... ! On to the Goods. Went down to BikeSport last night in Dearborn with Trevor. Wow! What a trip. Not only am I very happy about the bike I received and the deal that I feel that I got. The whole experience with Tom was tremendous. I could have talked to him a lot longer. What a great guy and extremely good at what he does. Notice that I place the "nice guy" first, cause that is what I think he is. The bike fits great and I can't wait for the weather to warm up a little. Maybe I could bundle up and take her out tonight?

This weekend is Easter... which will be fun for the kids. Also, it will be the first time that Trevor, Brandon and I will be able to sit down and discuss things about the team. We have changed the name officially to TRI for Life, LLC. Now the big thing is coming up with a logo.

Last nights workout was ok. Decent run and a pretty good swim, although cut short due to the pool closing or me getting a late start. Depends on how you look at it. I just can't seem to get much faster in the water.

On a more personal note... I received my new espresso machine yesterday. Oh yeah! First cup this morning was not quite as good as the old machine... but I am still figuring out the details.

And my men's league playoffs are here...we play tonight and if we win we play again tomorrow. So no workouts for those days. Just don't blow out an ankle this close to tri season.

Tuesday

Tuesday is my daughters dance day... and it's visitor week. Which means we ge to watch the instruction for the entire hour, not just the last 5 minutes. Basically, I get to watch 20 little girls not listen to the instructor while picking pretend flowers.



But, after dance class I am off the gym. It's a Run and Swim night... I am looking forward to this one. I don't really know why.



I had an appointment to get my new bike fitted tomorrow, but schedule conflicts will push that back until next week Wednesday. Then I will be able to get back on the trainer and follow my workout schedule a little better.









My sons Saturday morning basketball is over, so I can attend my first Masters Swim Class. I am nervous about this. I am going there looking for help and suggestions with my swim stroke... by all means it really needs it.

Here is the article.


He is the cover of the magazine...


I got a call from a guy in Texas yesterday morning. He was looking to help us out any way he could. He said he was inspired to call and looked up my phone number through information.


As far as training goes... I have been doing pretty well lately. Ran 30 minutes yesterday. Also, ran 30 minutes and swam 30 minutes on Friday.

First official Blog entry

Well... I am doing it. I am now an offiical blogger. This is going to be where you can flow the progress of our growing triathlon team. Right now, things are happening fast... creating an LLC., aquiring new members and getting all the things in order that will make us lok like we know what we are doing. It's going to be a fun year.

I will try to keep this updated as thinsgs progress. I would also like to track my training progess on here. Tonight I have basketball... a men's league that I play in. So there will be no "triathlon" training tonight. Only a couple more weeks of basketball and I think I will be able to follow my training schedule more closely. Instead of make excuses...!

Tomorrow is the USA Today article featuring me and my brothers. I will document our triathlon racing with the commitment to organ donatation after losing our youngest brother. Get yourself a USA Today and check out the OpenAir magazine.
