Bye Bye Tucson!

  It’s hard to believe Kim and I are leaving Tucson this weekend. Time has flown by and we had an absolute blast making new friends and training like crazy.  The training here has been great and I only hope all the hard work will pay off. Kim heads to China this weekend without me. It was a hard decision, but I have decided not to race. It’s just to much money to spend to go to a race where I will not be at my best. I’m hoping to hold on to this fitness and shoot for some fun 70.3’s and possibly Idaho, although I don’t know how I can do all this training without the sis. She dragged my ass to the pool so many times when I didn’t want to go! Thanks sis! I return back to Boulder this weekend. Looking forward to some runs on Mags and also taking the kidos to the Boulder Res for a swim.  Here are some fun pics from our trip. I also want to say thanks to the best homestay host in the world. John, thanks so much for EVERYTHING!! especially the incredible wine      Getting ready for hill repeats on Gates pass.         Post Run Cactus Trail       Taking a break from Training!!!            Little critters having fun on trash night. They think they hit the jackpot!      Fun in the pool,  Group swim with Sam McGlone and Coach Cliff English!!   Thanks Cliff and Sam for some great training and fun times!  GOOD LUCK IN CHINA SISSY!!!!!
