Personal:

I've been a competitive cyclist for years. Last year, after earning my category 1 upgrade and racing in the Tour of Utah, I realized I had plateaued as a cyclist--not that I wouldn't continue to improve, but that I wouldn't break through to a new level. So, I started looking for a new challenge.

I thought that challenge would be endurance mountain biking, but I got married in early January and a couple of weeks later I had entered the SLTC Winter Training Series with my wife. A couple of weeks after that I read Born to Run and decided that I'd like to run ultras. So I signed up for a couple of 50Ks to get started.

I have a tendency to stretch too far. Sometimes that works out for me.
