Hey all!
Hope everyone is enjoying the awesome weather here in central Iowa. I have had a great week of trainig and really looking forward to a recovery week this week.
The miles have been building up, and I am feeling pretty decent for this time of year. My first race is in Columbia, Mo in early May. I will be doing the Race for Sight Tri which is a sprint distance tri(400 m swim, 14 mile bike, 3 mile run) it should be pretty interesting to see how this goes, as it will certainly give an indication how my winter training has been.
I helped one of the guys here in my office pickup some gear over at Rassy's and Terry did a great job helping us find just what was needed. I appreciated the fact that he helped us find exactly what we were looking for and steered us towards the product right for my buddy not what was the most expensive.
I went out on a ride with Amy Hanrahan(http://rasmussenbikeamy.blogspot.com/) and her friends. It was great to be outside enjoying the weather! It was very windy as we headed west/northwest. We were riding some of the Booneville roads and made our way towards Hickman to grab the trail. We ran into Jason Halfpap and rode with him for a few miles before his new horse(QR Lucero) was screaming to go far faster than I wanted. At the turnaround we enjoyed wonderful tailwinds that made going fast really pretty easy. The turn south brought us back through Waukee into the hilly area south of Waukee - every climb I am reminded of how much I like the QRings!
Once back into WDSM I grabbed EP True and enjoyed a small part of the Hy-Vee Tri course-I really think this ride is going to produce some fast bike splits. Once back home did a quick T-run which was supposed to be 30 mins but was only able to complete 19 mins. Sunday was a great day with nearly 3 hours of cycling and running. After the run I gobbled some Hammer Recovery drink mixed with a little Endurox and went to Hy-Vee for some evening grilling.

All in all a great day and a great week.
Get outside and enjoy the weather...as I am writing I am sure my boys are outside diggin' in the dirt.
