After what started out to be a fantastic start to the triathlon season, I’m beginning to wonder whether I’m going to hit my races this year. Plagued by a strained hamstring and entirely too much ‘life stuff’, I can’t seem to keep my training consistent. The Hy-Vee Triathlon is a month away and while I think I could probably pull it off with a minimal amount of training, I’m concerned that I may end up sitting the rest of the season out and potentially miss Ironman Wisconsin.

On the other hand, maybe it’s for the best with everything else that’s going on…

• Heading to St. Louis in a couple weeks for a USAT Coach Level 1 clinic which will result in being a certified triathlon coach
• Rina and I will be in San Francisco next month finalizing living arrangements, so that we can get the hell outta Chicago
• Starting in June, I’ll be working on a special personal project (again, more on that later)
