This sure was one unforgettable year of racing... in 2014 I ran my first marathon (completed 3 this year), my first ultra-marathon 50K (31 Miles), my first Ironman Triathlon Event (70.3 Miles) and ended the year with my first Boston Qualifying marathon time!.. I'm also very grateful (and a little lucky haha) to get 7 overall wins which brought in enough cash and prizes to help pay for some of these events.
While it's hard to imagine 2015 will be able live up to this year's accomplishments, I look forward to training hard, having fun and taking on some new challenges in the upcoming year!
Below is a snapshot of my 2014 Race Year, I believe I may be missing 1 or 2... if anyone notices which ones let me know...
