First Post

I just wanted to create a blog like my friend Will Ritter to keep friends, family, and sponsors up to date on what I'm doing, whether that be training, racing, or just random thoughts for the day.
Since the first weekend of October I've had a race of some sort nearly every weekend up until this weekend. First off was the 15K Red River Revel (3rd overall, 1st age group), then the Fireant Festival 5K (2nd overall) and then 45 mile bike race right after (4th overall), then the Autumn Breeze 10K (3rd overall/ 1st age group), then the Monster Triathlon in Ft. Worth (4th out of 560 and 1st age group), and then lastly the Riverside V [mile] run last weekend which was the RRCA Louisiana State Championship (5th/133 overall and 1st age group). My left knee is definately feeling it though, since I was wearing 4 oz. racing flats that have no support whatsoever and I didn't wear any socks... I know, not too smart of me. Thanks to my first sponsor, East Texas Sports Center in Marshall, I will soon be getting a pair, or more, of Asics running shoes and Asics clothing in the near future.
Yesterday I went out and rode 16.4 miles around Longview and today put in 42 miles with a couple of friends from the Longview Bicycle Club. Until next weekend I'm going to take off and just swim and lift weights to give the knee a rest, seeing as how towards the last few miles my knee started having a shooting pain in it. Time for a little R&R on it.
