Speechless, thankful, and excited

I am not going to brag about being humble, because that just wouldn't be really humble of me, but I have never won anything or really had the chance to say, "Hey look at me I am cool!" Well I do now. It was announced late last week that I will be a member of the 2012 Revolution 3 Team. I had every intention writing this post immediately after I found out and then publishing it when I was announced. Although I had thoughts of excitement in my head it never made it to the computer with life/work getting in the way.

And for the humbleness...Now that I am here at the computer and still ever so pumped and really can't wait for 2012 to start I am finding some other things more interesting for me to post about and connect with my news. This year is going to be epic and change everything which was blatantly put by my coach. Yeah, I said it, a coach! I never thought I would come to this. He is the man that turned me on to Rev3. He recently won his first full distance Ironman triathlon and I thought this would be an appropriate time to introduce him. Yeah that is right, I said WON! Follow his blog here to find his Rev3 Ceder Point Race Report and to keep you mildly entertained. This man can get coke on demand from the back of an SUV. Amazing.

It is actually more of an informal agreement with a well-respected friend where I asked for some initial planning, general advice throughout the year, and 2 months of more detailed workouts and feedback leading up to my peak race. Mainly to keep me honest! I am excited to be able to bounce things off someone who is knowledgeable, leads by example, and awesome enough that he has two first names.

Time to resort the schedule and plan for some awesome Rev3 races around the country!
