I am now into the thick of racing season. Since my last update, I competed in the NYC triathlon and IRONMAN 70.3 Ecuador. NYC has always been a "bucket list" race for me and this year it fit my schedule. It was a little more stressful than most races because there are not many places to train leading up to race day. I ended up finishing the race in 2nd place and then had some time to spend in the city. 

I came back to Boulder and had a few weeks to train before heading off to Waterloo, Wisconsin for Trek World. This was my first time at the prestigious event so I was very excited to go and meet the guys behind the scenes, other Trek athletes, and dealers from around the globe. 

Following Trek World, I returned to Boulder for one night then it was back to the airport for IRONMAN 70.3 Ecuador. Fortunately, I had enough energy to get the win and actually have one of my best races ever.  You can read about these races in more detail on my blog

I am now back in Boulder and will have a rest followed by a big training block before my next race September 20th Ironman 70.3 Cozumel.
