Wow, where do I start?

First of all thanks to the boys at Rassy's-especially Donny and Greg. Without them this sponsorship program would not be possible. I also want to put out a HUGE thanks to Mac and Quintana Roo for the bike and wetsuit. I know that both Amy(female winner of the '07 sponsorship) and I are excited and look to make this worthwhile for everyone involved.

I am honored to have won this sponsorship-especially as I am not the typical "sponsored" athlete. I am pretty certain that when most people look at me they don't think "triathlete"-they think normal guy. I am the average person that has decided that I was going to make exercise a part of my daily life-and without a silly/huge goal I would never be motivated enough to get to the gym to workout and eat healthy(relativley speaking)-so TRI is in my life to provide me with a reason to workout.

I have a long story and will share as the season goes along. My plan as it sits right now is to provide regular updates about my training, racing, weight-loss, injuries(they happen), etc.
I will also occasionally tell you tales of my 8 month old boy Benjamin(4 new teeth in 3 weeks), Zachary my 2 1/2 year old who is my training partner, my wife Carmen who is my buddy and biggest fan, and whatever else slips into my life.

If there is anything you would like to hear about as the season progresses, let me know-this is an open forum. Lastly let's have fun as we dig into this season-I know that I will.

Once again thanks to DQ, Greg, Mac, and Quintana Roo!!! Stay tuned for pics of the gear that all of the sponsors hooked us up-just awesome.
