And so, what's next? After the 2011 season of training with Coach Steve Pyle, we say our goodbyes and I am moving on to a new coach for the 2012 season. I have joined the Endurance Concepts Team in Atlanta, where I will be training with Head Coach, Dan Arnett (who oddly enough, also has a BS degree in Physics!!).
My main goals for the upcoming season are to qualify for 2013 World Championships in London and the 2012 Aquathlon World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand. I am also moving on and up from the Sprint distance to the Olympic distance this season. Some more minor goals are to PR in the 10k and half marathon this season.
I cannot thank everyone enough who has supported me and contributed to my season. It would not be possible to get though everything (school, teaching, training, etc.) without knowing that there are a lot of people out there who believe in me and have my back!
Though my triathlon season is over and off-season training begun, I have competed in two races. The Calvary Baptist Turkey Trot, where I ran to a first place overall finish and a new 5k PR. And the AGU 5k in San Francisco where I had a 3rd place overall finish in 19:01. I believe I have a great season ahead.

In other news, this is a big year in many ways - my sister is getting married, and I will be defending my dissertation this summer. Some big life changes are heading my way and I look forward to sharing them with you.
