But maybe some year I’ll focus enough and the gods will be on my side and I’ll make it as a qualifier. I’m still shooting for the 60-65 age group, though I have to get a little faster still and then hold that form for 24 years. No problem 
Went for a nice mountain bike ride on Saturday and then a couple runs since then. Fairly relaxed on my training, as I’ve been focused on my projects. BTW, thanks to those who’ve joined Feedstoke, I’m stoked (pun intended) about this project as I think it has some great potential. Added a couple more elements to the site and now I think I’ll just let it simmer and see if takes traction. Heading to Kona next week and when I return I’ll start working on some Trifuel enhancements, designs for kits, and whatever else I can think of. I’ll probably have to look for a part-time job as well as the winter season gets a little tight as the site and projects slow down a bit. I know… Poor Me Need to find something were I can learn some things and keep a schedule that allows me to continue working on the endurance stuff, online and offline.
Will probably also sit down while I’m out in Kona and put together a training plan for next season. Wisconsin is in September, but I have a lot to improve on for then. Need to get my run in shape and continue to workout my nutrition - general and training. I took a CHEK test from a book I just read and it identified me as a protein type. So I’ve been eating alot more protein than I had in the past. Lots of meats, fish, etc. and less wheat products. I’ve been on it for about 10 days now and I kinda like it. Been cooking more, which is good. And I don’t feel as sluggish as I had in the past. It could a number of things, like not working out as much, but I’ve cut back on the coffee, eating more protein, and trying to get to bed earlier. Still need to work on the water intake though. I need an alarm to go off every two hours to remind me to drink 10-12 ounces. According to Chek I should be drinking 80 ounces a day, and I don’t come close to that currently.
Hopefully I’ll have a connection while in Kona and I’ll send updates and photos.

Have fun in Kona and wish Chris good luck for us.
I’m looking forward to hearing a first hand account of the spectacle that is Kona. And the pictures.
Good luck with the job search. Any ideas on what you’re looking for? I saw a story on ABC (I think) not too long ago about how companies are starting to work with people so they don’t lose the experienced workforce - part time, job sharing, etc. Hopefully, you’ll find a great opportunity like that.
