Has it really been this long?

Wow, so I haven't blogged in how many months. Sheesh. Is this blog dead? No actually it's not. So lets have a post.

It's been a long time since Chequamegon. I'm pretty happy with my results. Even with a month off of training(thanks flood), I managed to best my previous time. Not sure of the future of this race, but if I do go this year, I will be doing the 40.

I participated in a new event this year. It's called the Dirty Duathlon. It was an offroad run/bike/run event held in November. I finished 25th out of 27 male participants. I'd usually say that was a pretty bad showing, but there were 17 DNF's. It was a very tough course, which knocked a lot of people out. I feel pretty good just finishing, which I did in 2 hours and 38 minutes. This was without a doubt the toughest race I did this year.

I had a good Christmas and New Years. Spent a lot of time with the family and had a lot of fun. Hopefully everyone had a good holiday season.

New bike alert: For you bike nerds out there I was lucky enough to pick up a cyclocross bike. It's a BikesDirect.com Windsor Cyclo. Lots of bells and whistles and it rides nice too! Look for me at a cyclocross race this fall. Here's a picture and a link:
