I got beat on the run 4 times last year. Each time I came out of T2 in great shape and just couldn't hold onto my lead. I had trouble training and a lot of pain in my left foot during the races so this year I'm really feeling good about running. The surgery seems to have corrected an issue that was causing severe Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot.
First event will be the VineMan showdown in March. It's a sprint but I'm really looking forward to it. It was my first "real" event where I tried to be competitive and I was 5th in my AG and I think 27th overall. I was really out of shape and overweight so this year I'm hoping to win my AG and go top 5 overall, but whatever happens it will kick off what will be a fun season.
