After much consideration I've had to modify my racing schedule for this year. With me in a new job, and my wife finishing her first year of Grad school, and the added wrinkle of crazy gas prices, I think I'll have to take it easy, and keep any racing close to home.

So my new schedule:

May 22 MeBeth Hill TT
May 29 MeBeth Hill TT
June 24 Pacific Crest Olympic Tri
July 4 Butte to Butte 10k
July 22 Tri America (possible race)
July 29 Mid Summer Olympic (possible race)
Aug 18 Mary's Peak TT (possible race)
Sept 30 Livestrong ride

It's been quite a while since I've written on my blog. All of my treatments are completed and now it becomes a waiting game to see how all of this worked. I'll get my first blood test in June, but it won't for two years till I know whether or not I'll be cancer free.

In the mean time I've been training and getting ready for my season. I was planning on doing a sprint this weekend but things didn't work out, so it doesn't look like I'll be doing any triathlons before I do Pacific Crest at the end of June. But on Tuesday the local bike shop puts on a 3 mile time trial hill climb. I've been wanting to do this for a few years and yesterday I decided I would do it. There were about forty people who competed, and I started fifth from the last. I knew from the start that I wasn't going to have a great ride, because I started running out of gas before I even hit the hill. I was passed by four of the riders, and I gasped across the line with a time of 19:24. Most people in my age group where doing the in 13-15 minutes. I have my work cut out for me. But the main thing was it was a lot of fun and a great workout.
