Currently I’m in the middle of training for Boise 70.3 and Ironman Couer D’Alene.  I have had a little bit of a setback and I’m fighting a bit of tendonitis in my foot.  I have been attempting to adhere to the normal recovery program of R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate).  Resting is the hard part and I’m slowly realizing that I really need to let this sucker heal and take a real break if I want to be able to race soon.  The timing of this article on XTRI was perfect for me The Dreaded Injury as I was beginning to accept that I have a real injury.  I have now made it a priority to really work on some weaknesses (swimming/core) as I take a break from the bike and running.

Other than the injury life in Missoula is good!  I’m working at Caffe Dolce, coaching triathletes, and working with The Cycling House on some upcoming camps.  I have my official website for Adaptive Endurance up and running, check it out!  I’m also working on resurrecting Team Stampede, the club team here in Missoula, Montana.  It has a long history of fast triathletes, great parties, and dominating club nationals.
