holy time flyin'! Is it past mid-August already? I started my prosthetic residency on the 1st, and have been having such a good time, I can't believe it's already been 2.5 weeks. My residency director and I get along famously as we've known each other for the past 3 years; I honestly love going to work every morning (after an early morning workout session of course) and every day I'm learning something new. We actually got a new patient yesterday who we'll be creating a cycling-specific prosthesis for, another guy who wants a water polo leg, and a woman who wants one for swimming. TOO COOL!!
I'm trying to keep up with maintaining the website, I've finally figured out the domain issues (sorta), so I apologize for anyone who had to look at the lame "starter" page while the site was down for a couple days. The home page reflects my new title as "development pro triathlete" (whatever that is) which I just thought sounded way cooler than "elite amateur triathlete" (whatever that is). The home page slideshow is also updated with newer pictures from my latest race and my half iron in August that my friend Bill finally sent me the pictures to! I still seem to be getting some hits every day, kind of interesting that I have fans lurking out there. pretty neat, please don't be intimidated and feel free to leave a comment on the blog or send me a message. if anything, let me know if the quotes on my new slideshow are too corny :)
I raced last weekend at the Folsom International Tri and came home with both an Olympic-distance PR and an outright 10k PR! My official race report is on my teamTBB blog. I only missed the AG podium by an aggravating 15 seconds, but I suppose that only adds more fuel to the fire. I was an entire 10.5 minutes off of top 8 overall though, so I've definitely got plenty of work to do, but I can only get faster from here... check it out, here I am super hard-core with my new team iron-on patches, team issue visor and fake tattoos:
