A New Adventure

I managed a decent race at the Brierman 50-miler on Sunday, October 4. This despite missing the start of the race. I sorta ran a little behind schedule when I took care of some "urgent business" that required my wetsuit to be removed. I've never squeezed into that neoprene body suit on so fast... The entire field was already out to sea before I had a chance to put it on! Somehow I still managed the 7th fastest swim out of 85 starters. Still trying to figure that one out. I basically held my position on the bike and run and managed to finish 8th overall. My season's now over... One month of unstructured exercise before launching an out-of-season plan on November 1. It was a good year: 3 podium finishes (bronze, silver, & a gold), a half marathon PR, and a respectable Ironman 70.3 that included a lousy 3-week lead-up.

And now for my announcement....... With the help of Deeter Gallaher Group (http://www.deetergallahergroup.com/) I've launched a professional blog. Check it out for yourself! http://blog.mcclureco.com/. They used the word "pithy" in our press release. Anyone know what that means? Please follow me if you're so inclined. Should be fun!
