So it's been a while...

Due to lack of internet access over the past month or so, I have not been able to update this page. I reporting to you today thanks to the awesome guest computers at the UNCW library. Unfortunatley, I only have an hour a day on these computers, so I have to make every second count. Forgive me if I am brief.

So, I won the Wilmington Tri for the second time 2 weeks ago. I did not feel to great having just come off a long wedding weekend on the outer banks. Basically it turned into 4 straight days of surfing and partying with no training at all. Luckily though, I felt good enough to pull out the overall victory. The win was all the sweeter due to the fact that my girlfriend, Holli, was able to watch me race. Little did we know that a photog from the Lumina News was snooping around at the finish line at caught us in a rather candid moment shortly after I crossed the line. Needless to say, the photo ended up in the paper that week.

Due to my victory at Wrightsville, I am now poised to take over one of the top spots in the NCTS as I get for the final race in the series at Pinehurst this weekend. It certaintly won't be easy with the likes of Tom Clifford, Eric Bean, Tim Surface, and Richard Armstrong racing, but at this point I have nothing to lose. The way I see it, everyone should be worried about what I'm going to do and we'll see how everything pans out when the dust settles.

Ok, only 4 minutes left on the computer. Going to Phoenix on November 1st for the Amica Championship Race. $20,000 up for grabs in this first year event. Afterwards, I'm flying out to San Diego for a week to see my girl for some good old fashioned r&r.
