Triathlon racing next weekend!

Believe it or not my friends next weekend I will be racing my first triathlon of the season. I was very pleased with the chance to race on my very first marathon and because of the arrival of "Clot Buster Junior" I did not have any expectations to be racing many triathlons at all this summer.

I feel incredible lucky that Mrs. Clot Buster and I are hanging in there and somehow we are finding time to get some training done amongst our new duties as parents. I am trying to incorporate my training on the time that I am spending away from home while at work. I've been riding to work about 3 times per week. Two of them is going in and I get to come back home with my car pooling buddy and on Fridays I go and come both on my two wheels. I've been trying to squeeze in my runs whenever possible. Some in the morning and some while at work during lunch... not always the best alternative as I tend to sweat pretty strongly and having a meeting right after lunch is just not enough time for me to cool off enough to not be sweating while sitting on my meeting... it was pretty funny to be in there and have sweat pouring down my face. Finally I can't forget about the swimming and for now I am trying to do it on Wednesday's after work. I am attempting to do some more during this time (about 45% more than what I used to) because I want to be able to spend as much time as possible with our little one just like I am showing you below...

So, I am very excited about the chance to be racing next Sunday in Cincinnaty at the ONE WORLD CINCINNATI TRIATHLON right in the heart of downtown. If you are around come on out and checkout the race. I will be only be racing the sprint distance this time as I am in no way ready to do any more than that. I am just thrilled to be planning for it and very exited to have our little one get to experience his first ever triathlon... hopefully the first OF MANY!!!

If you know of anyone who I should consider for my athelete of the month please let me know. We all need that additional inspiration from someone who had a clotting episode and now they are back or on their back to live a normal life. I definitely enjoy those stories and I hope that you will too.

Lastly, HELP US STOP THE CLOT!!! If you want to spread the word checkout the great looking STOP THE CLOT technical shirts we have available for you to wear and spread the word about the awareness we need to have about blood clots and blood clotting disorders.
