Shawns weekly email June 9-15

A full week at home and in the office and I am finally caught up…time to leave again J

It was really nice to be around all week after being in Germany last week. 

Training was easier with a set schedule and I also had LOTS of company for key sessions which is great.

The next 2 weeks I am out west for work and vacation and I am really looking forward to it.

People always say “It must be so hard to travel so much” and it is difficult but it is also VERY nice at times. 

This trip is to a 4-5 “star” hotel with Drew and Bone tagging along and an easy work schedule…bringing bike…trail shoes…summer in Park City, UT…yeah…it is hard to travel ;)

Enough BS…on to the gouge….



Off the front (the Sassy Section J)

Saturday – leaving the house at 6am for a long ride…be home around 10:30am – t-run 30 minutes.

Sunday –  leaving the house at 6am for a long run (16M) be home around 8:15am.


Results –

Congrats to Todd “PB” at Ironman Boise 70.3.  Todd went 4:56 and finished in a very solid 101st in the overall.  It still amazes me how competitive certain age groups are and the M30-34 and M35-39 is just silly fast.  Keep up the great work…very happy for you!!!

I missed a shout out to the Delafina Girls at the State Road Race – congrats to Magda 2nd, Rebekah 3rd and Sharon 3rd !!! Nice podiums!!!  Nice work!!!

Oh yeah – and Happy 40th Birthday A-A-RON!!!
