Welcome back!

We the northwest is showing its colors; grey and other shades of gray. So for all intensive purposes my training has moved almost completely indoors. I am going to still try and get out on the bike from time to time but the time involved with cleaning up after a wet weather ride is no small matter. Running wise I only have two good pairs of shoes and they dont dry fast enough!

I went for my first swim since Treasure Island tonight. I was very suprised at how I did. Of the three sports I believe I can cut the most time from my races with my swimming. Being my strong sport in highschool, I should be able to leverage my previous talent with a intensive training program. I just have to get back to my previous glory :) 

The triathlon gift guide is still underwork but you can see our mess still :) If there are any products you have been eyeing but dont know much about, post a comment and Ill do my best to help you out! Have a great one everybody.

    Have you ever tried stuffing your trainers with crumpled newspaper after a wet run? Pack ‘em tight and leave them for a few hours. They’ll be dry enough to run in when you pull the paper out — if you have another hour after pulling the paper out, they’ll finish air drying completely. Keeps them from getting stiff, too. If you have a muddy run, rinse them off with the garden hose or in the sink before stuffing them with the paper. Keep up the good work!

    Still get a kick watching the “how to unofficialy win a triathalon” video.
    Check the first word of the “We(ll) the Northwest..”. Part of it left off. Sorry, can’t keep myself from telling you-looks better to possible sponsers. Same thing at the top right hand corner of your Twitter page. I have forgotten or never was really capable of getting into your site to leave a message. We’ll have to try it again. I have only 2 days off over Christmas unless a miracle occurs. Just found out Dr. Fayssoux is gone Jan 12 - Feb 15 th or so. I’m trying to get something definite set up to come and see you and Kristine. Love you a lot. Keep up the good work on the site. DAD
