I couldn’t be happier. I’m so much faster than I was last year at this time. I still have a long way to go. Branson 70.3 is quite a bit different than this race. The good thing is that making this type of progress makes staying motivated really easy.

I’ve been following a program from Midwest Triathlon Coaching about 50% of the plan anyway. But I can’t complain with the results. The job, travel, and life just got in the way of how I wanted to train. But seriously I’m so pumped right now. I have to credit most of my gains to the MTC program. I’m still a rookie and still very overweight, but the little tips and tricks I’ve already learned this season along with the better base I have are going to make all the difference this year. I might not be Ken’s best pupil, but the coaching I got was worth every penny. Have I mentioned I’m very, very pleased with the results?

I’m confident that all of my goals are going to be met this year.

I’m tired now, but I’m so pumped for next week. Morale is outstanding. Bring on the KCTriathlon.
