Just finished my first triathlon – the Kennebunk Fireman Triathlon! I did the sprint distance which was 1/3 m ocean swim, 16.4 m bike, 3.1 m run. Despite a crash on my bike and a mechanical issue that cost me 4-5 minutes, I finished in 1:51:29 – well under my 2 hour goal. Think I’ll do another!
Nationals at Copper Mountain ‘09 were a blast. Despite traveling in a blizzard on I70 and a nasty bout of altitude sickness on the first day, the trip was a huge success. Two silver medals and a grand reunion with my college pal Sal were quite fulfilling experiences.

It’s been a great season for the Sno-Rams! We’ve competed at Sugarloaf, Shawnee Peak, and Sunday River in Boardercross, Slalom, and Giant Slalom.
Hannah and Sarah desperately want to make it to Nationals at Copper Mountain in Colorado; I’m confident they will. Sure wish I could go this year, but finishing graduate studies and planning for the India trip are taking priority.
