Its been a long time since I've posted something...honestly things have been crazy, but in a good way. The summer wrapped up great in terms of Triathlons, I finished 27th out of 250 in the Springbrook Sprint and got 3rd in my age group. The following weekend I raced in my goal race of the summer, my first Olympic Distance at Fall Creek Falls. It was so much fun, one of the best days of the summer. In fact that week following despite school starting was the best week of my summer just cause of a number of things going on in my life. Again the race was a blast, I destroyed my goal I had set. I told people I wanted to beat 3 hours, but secretly I wanted to get under 2:50:00...I ended up at 2:37:00...man what a great feeling. After reflecting on that race I realized I had truely had one of the best summers ever. God taught me so much through this training, working full time and having a community of believers.
The past month has been busy, I got to train somewhat but not Tri training specifically, mostly just running with Cross Country...New fun fact - I help coach a Cross Country team for Norwood Middle School - I have to say at first I was scared to death of middle schoolers for some weird reason, but I've grown to love working with them. Mallory has told me some conversations she has had in school with the students and how much the look up to me and enjoy me running with them, just hearing words like that makes me really excited and happy to be pouring out my new love for running.
My weeks are packed right up until October 30th, I'm counting down the days till then. That day is the day I take my Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. This test is BIG I have to review everything I studied the past four years...drain. It hit me hard yesterday that I really need to get going on studying so now I'm trying to set an hour aside each day. I don't want to be the 2 out of 30 students in my class that will fail. After school I'm still not sure what I'll be doing, most likely it will be Grad School or find a Geotech Job. I'm hoping the latter because I'm tired of school. Of Course although I'm tired of school I'm having a blast not having to work from 8 - 5.
Well this is enough for now, I just read somebody else's blog this morning and realized I'd forgot about updating mine. I should get back to studying FE stuff like Statistics. Caio
