Back in the Saddle Again - Healing up and Planning for 2012!!!

So, its been a pretty rough couple months. My 2011 season went quite well overall :) I had an almost PB at the Great White North Half Ironman in Canada, had an almost PB at the Edmonton ITU world cup triathlon, and finished 5th overall at the Alcartaz triathlon. However, that was alot on my body and I ended up re-injuring a stress fracture in my left fibula. So, no real triathlon training since the beginning of August.

But, I have hit the gym really hard since then, put on some weight and have really strengthened my body.

I am just back to cycling, going to hit the pool a few times this week, but still no actual running till at least the beginning of November. No worries, muscle memmory right :)

So, here are a few races I am doing in 2012 thus far:

2012 Race Schedule

UCSB Sprint Triathlon - Mar 20, 2012 Santa Barbara, California


ITU World Championship Series Olympic Distance Triathlon - May 12, 2012 San Diego, California

Great White North Half Ironman - July 1, 2012 Edmonton, Canada
 
I am REALLY excited about the ITU World Champ race in San Diego, and also the GWN.
 
Will keep everyone posted as my injury heals up, I get running and training again, and hopefully we can whip this body into even faster shape than ever before!!!!
 
Happy Training everyone.
