Ironman bound

After months of training, I can't believe it's time to race! I'm excited and anxious for the upcoming weekend of torture that I have subjected myself to. Mostly excited to be outside during the summer solstice and riding my new machine. Jake and I are currently en route to the Tetons (my fav) and Yellowstone and will be in Missoula by Wednesday 6/17.














You can follow me online during the race at ironmanlive.com (just look up my last name).

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and encouragement, I couldn't be here today without you!

Cleaning toilets in paradise




We just started summer in paradise! It's beautiful weather here in San Clemente, CA during the summer. Not too hot and not too cold...it's about 70 degrees year round. We fill our days with surfin', biking, running, and lots of eating :)






We have more friends...and roommates than ever before! There is always a houseguest to feed and hangout with. We also have a permanent roommate for the summer as Brandon is here studying (and surfing) for med school. He is quite the cook and the girls are all trying to pick up a few tricks in the kitchen. There are great meals and lots of dishes. Jen has become the master baker with her muffins making a name for themselves. So that leaves Shelly and I to do the housework and make money to support the jobless :) Oh, and we have the guys to help us clean the toilets! Stop by when you can to enjoy paradise with us...
