After hitting the trails with Trevor on Tuesday morning, and getting dropped on every climb, I was worked. But that's exactly where I should be right now. In years past I was afraid to let my fitness on the bike and swim slip... at all. This year I think I have been better and I will ease back into things and really look to start focused training in January in hopes of a strong spring/summer/fall of racing. So for the next couple of weeks I will continue to ramp up my running volume and get in a couple of swim and bike sessions just to maintain the feel and be ready to nail it in 2009.
I have locked up a couple more sponsors for 2009 and am pretty stoked.
First is Skinfit USA. They my make the best athletic apparel I have ever used and am stoked (thanks to Trevor) to even have access to this stuff. For the last 3 years when I was in Maui for Xterra Worlds I would always see a lot of international athletes rocking the Skinfit gear... now I will be too. Check out their online store for more info.
I will also be working with 53x11 coffee. I have been ordering my fair share of coffee from them over the last couple years and their program is pretty killer. If you guys buy some coffee after clicking on a link on my site (on the right hand side or any link I post) it will help me build credit and hopefully I can use that to help fund some travel to races. It's not getting any cheaper... time are tough!
Beth I will be packing our bags once again and heading to Las Vegas for the marathon. It's going to be a fun. I will be running the half on Sunday morning as well. After the race we will be meeting up with Fatdad and Gunner and hitting up the Burger Bar. I can't wait.

Dude your sponsor-base just keeps growing and growing! Even most serious pros aren't having as many sponsors as you so your dedication shows and pays off!
Have fun on the half, don't hurt yourself and support Beth for a killer run (at least to beat Fatdad :P
Congrats on the sponsorships.
I think it was the CHiPs picture of you and Trevor at Fletcher Cove that sealed the deal!

You've got to send some of that SkinFit action up north for Gunner and I to rep here in Canada!
