Moo
Finally – internet in Australia! Despite being a fully modern country getting on the interwebs has been a huge issue.
I am very happy with my ninth place finish, although I would describe my swim, bike and T2 as ‘technically unsound.’ Getting ninth with the sixth fastest run isn’t a great statistic! Felt good on the run – there is nowhere to hide on the run course in Mooloolaba.
Anyways, here are some pics:
I thought this was cool – the Mooloolaba Surf Lifesaving club.

Day in the Life
I recently wrote an article for Team Evotri about what a day in the life of an Olympic training center resident athlete is like. Check it out:
2010 is Here!
The 2010 season is here! I know this because I just got back to Florida after a 70 day altitude training block and I’m now doing RACE PREP TRAINING!! My first race is in 15 days in Mooloolaba, Australia. I can’t wait to get back down under and hopefully have a better showing than I did last year.
To get everyone excited about the 2010 season the ITU released a promo video today. Unfortunately all this video did was make me exceedingly nervous. However, I’m definitely going to try to star in the 2011 version of this. That means I’m either going to have to be a complete bad ass this year or get in some sort of horrific bike crash. I’m hoping for the former…
Orbea
I’m really excited to announce that I will be riding Orbea bikes in 2010!
The 2010 Orca.
I know what you’re thinking – you’re thinking, “Hey, didn’t you ride Orbea bikes last year and also the year before?” Yes I did, but this year I will be on brand new Orbeas since I am now officially a sponsored Orbea athlete! So instead of riding my 2008 Orca with its storied past (sold as a used bike on eBay by my local bike shop, shipped to the buyer, carbon frame pierced by a sharp piece of metal during shipment, shipped back to local bike shop, frame repaired by Calfee and given to local professional triathlete – me!), I will be on a brand new 2010 Orca and also a new 2010 Ordu for St. Anthony’s and Ironman 70.3 Worlds.
My 2008 Orca…it has quite the history.
