My motto is simple- you have to get out to find out. I love to get outside and get moving, the activity is just a consequence of what I'm feeling, the weather and what my friends are doing. I ride mountain, road and cross bikes. I've done 13 Ironman races. I ski alpine, AT and nordic. I SUP and surf, though both pretty poorly. Trail running is a blast, and of course camping is cool. But getting out isn't always about getting outside. Get out of your comfort zone at work and in your personal life. Take on a new project, make a new friend or just try that new restaurant in town that always smells good. Enjoy your life, you've only got one shot and the clock is always ticking.

More racing

After running with Dean, I needed a break. My legs hurt (thankfully I had no blisters) and my head was tired. Fortunately it didn't take me long to come back around and within a few days I was back on the bike, which is good considering I am racing a 4 day stage race in Steamboat this weekend.
The race starts with a time trial on Friday, has a circuit race Saturday, a road race Sunday and finishes with a criterium on Monday. It will be a lot of hard racing for sure.
I like this style of racing since it is a mix of endurance, speed, power and the ability to recover from each day's effort. I did my first stage race earlier this year, thought it was only 3 days. I finished 5th overall so I'm hoping to at least equal that in Steamboat.
Courtney will be there to take some good photos, except for Sunday. She is running 5k on Sunday to get her own workout in.
It should be a fun time for sure and I'll do my best to keep you updated.
