- Well June is the month I planned to spend a lot of time racing. In the 5 week span between Memorial Day and July I have 4 races.

Read More - Well I’m officially done recovering from Ironman Arizona – at least according to the training plan. Looking back at Arizona I’m still amazed at how well I did. It was by no means a perfect race, but wow – 9:46 with a flat tire. Not only that I wasn’t even phased when I got the flat. A year or two ago I would have been …
