I’m writing this en route to my second race of the year: the ITU Santiago, Chile Pan-American Cup. The week of training post Clermont Sprint was incredibly productive with lots of run miles and group rides.

My 2011 triathlon season is officially underway. I had an okay-at-best season opener at USAT Sprint Nationals. I ended up in 20th place (8th American). It was a full start list with 75 athletes mostly from the U.S., but South America and Europe were also represented well. In fact, the winner of the race was… [Read more…]
