The trials and tribulations of an elite level age-group triathlete.
This was my first and probably my only trip to the Boston Marathon. I make this claim because the journey is long and the timing is less than ideal.
I'm addicted to Ironman, what can I say?
Anyway, it was my first Boston encounter and my story is a lengthy one....
I think it’s probably a good thing that we all have short attention spans or someone might recall that I swore off 70.3 racing last year. :)
I don't remember exactly what I stated but I'm certain the words: "hate", "never again" (technically a phrase) and "suck" were spoken, written or spoken and written. 
I just wrapped up the training camp with an 8 mile run in the country and now it's time to pack up and head out. It seems like we just got here and now it's already time to leave. [Sigh] I love it here; I wish I didn't have to go back!
This is my third visit and this trip has been more fruitful than my previous visits and as long as the Ironman California rumor continues to be a rumor, I will revisit this location again next year.
I get a pass for typos and grammar. I'm just throwing that out there in advance in case the grammar police decide to show up on my blog.
As some of you know, I'm on my annual pilgrimage south in search of warmer weather which is kind of a joke considering where I live. But I'm a cry baby and if the temperature drops below 70F, I'm unhappy.
The game just got a little tougher! It seems there are fewer qualifying slots available. I've only checked a select number of sites but of those that are of interest to me, 50 qualifying slots appears to be the magic number.
