It has started and ended. I think I may make a come back. I have a couple of friends who are racing every Muddy Buddy Race, The Bionic Thongs. One of them was injured in Austin, and so they invited me to fill in for her for the San Jose and Atlanta Race. I first must say thank you Thongs for bringing me along, it was a blast! You can read more about the races and adventures here on their blog . I recommend that everybody does a Muddy Buddy at some point, it is so much fun! Good Luck in Richmond Thongs! I am going to take a week off from training and then begin to focus on Triathlons again. I took the first part of this year to train for the 1 mile, and got a new PR in the 1500 and got my mile under 5 minutes, something I have not done since high school. My next triathlon will be Try Andy's Tri in October. I have traveled out of town for the past 3 weekends, so I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks here at home.
