Off Season
It's been a laid back10 days since I've finished up the last race. Just playing tons of basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, and hiking. Some strength every now and then too.

Cytosport
Went over to Cytosport today. They are based right near Napa, so I drove up with Eric G and Jillian to meet the crew and say hi.
"CytoSport™ was founded in 1998 by the father/son team of Greg and Mike Pickett. Since then it has grown into a premier manufacturer of sports-oriented nutritional products that address the needs of athletes and active lifestyle individuals at every level. With every product and every decision, we pursue quality, taste and the athlete, in mind.
"CytoSport does not now, has never and will never condone the use of performance enhancing drugs, such as steroids, androstenedione or prohormones. That’s why you’ll never find these, or any ingredients found on the banned substance lists of governing sport organizations, in any of our products." - Greg Pickett Founder
It's nice to stop by a sponsor's headquarters meet the people behind the scenes that make it happen and see how the product is made.
And of course we stopped in the back where owner, Greg Pickett keeps a few cars.
He's also getting ready to do a 24 hour Le Mons race...pictured here in the partially built car. The front end is above labeled Muscle Milk

ITU San Francisco
12th place.
Definitely was not what I was looking for to end my season on a good note.
Had a bit of trouble in various spots during the whole race. First off, I must say the triathlon swim isn't a wrestling match. It looks like we're all beating the snot out of each other, but that's typically not the case.
A message for the Fellas not in the front pack: the reason why the front pack puts so much time on you isn't because they're that much ridiculously better than you. It's because they know that all the extra bumping and hitting slows you down. Therefore, they don't do it.
...yes, for the first time this year, I was caught up in the scrum and couldn't break free until it was too late...I have the cuts to prove it.
The bike was a disappointment. Didn't feel that strong, but still closed the gap to the leaders. For some reason the group didn't want to work well together.
Once onto the run, I thought I was having a good day until I slipped from 2nd to 12th. I have some ideas of what went wrong. Injuries from the summer and not much of a base thinned out my edge from Nationals and Lorient World Cup in late September.
It's hard to ride the wave all the way in when it's not that big and the water is too deep to begin with.
On a good note, a bad last race of the season amps me up for next year's racing. I had a good year, but the only thing I'll be thinking about is the last race I did.
...Just adds more fuel to the fire
