It's been a busy week so I'm just getting around to putting a little something together from last weekend. I raced the Barefoot Tri on Sunday in Traverse City. It was an olympic distance with a 27.5 mile bike. It was a tough bike course, but to my advantage with the hills. This was a pretty small event like most are up here in northern Michigan, but there was still a good 250 people racing. I felt great all day and this was probably my best race I've had all year as far as how I felt in relationship to my fitness level. I have done basically no hard running still since my collarbone incident and to be able to run 6:00 pace off the bike was a good feeling. I can tell all the hills on the bike and run front are starting to really make me strong. My legs felt a lot fresher coming off the bike than normal. It was a lot of fun and once again having family there for support was awesome. My little brother (pic above) is definitely the best cheerleader out there. He's already quite the little athlete himself.On Labor Day Rachel and I spent the day with her family at her grandpa's cabin. It's a very nice place and we're hoping to get there more frequently now that we're a lot closer. It was nice being able to hang out with Rachel's sisters and all of their husbands.
The first week of school has been great. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous heading into Tuesday. It had been 3 months since I've taught (2 extra weeks b/c of my surgery) and I thought maybe I had forgotten how:) It was also going to be different teaching high school and in a completely different school district. So far everything has been smooth and I really like how things have worked out. The students at Mancelona have been fun to work with and my fellow teachers/staff have made me feel like home. I'm excited about what lies ahead this year on the teaching front.
Lastly, Janda has launched our new coaching website. Go to jrmtraining.com to see more.
