Where I Am Now

This is a new blog for me. I've been blogging for a few years under "crewdthoughts", but I needed a change. I wanted a site that stated what I was about and what my pursuits were. I'm a multisport athlete. Not just a runner, swimmer, cyclist, or a triathlete. I love them all individually and in any way you want to throw them together. I want to excel in the all individually and feel confident to pace with any specialist at any time. This blog will document my training, racing, and pursuit of that podium place.
My home base is in Birmingham, AL. My little neighborhood is a hot bed for runners and cyclist. I'm never at a loss for finding a ride or a run that challenges me. I feel very lucky to have access to streets that are very runner friendly as well as quick access to country roads ideal for a long ride. The weather is suitable year round for all sports. So I really have no excuse. My only limitations are my desire and that ever present nuisance, work.
I have set out my goals for the year which I will lay out in future posts. I'm looking forward to seeing what this year holds after taking 2008 off from any major races. I'm feeling better than I ever have and hope to improve upon my previous PR's. That will only be accomplished through my continuing efforts to push myself and learn from others. Learning has been the best part. I'm reminding constantly how much I have to learn and how important it is to train smart, but also to race smart.
So sit tight, rest, and recover. Let's get ready to race!
