For those that read this that don't know, Nick was a collegiate XC guy turned very good triathlon turned pro triathlete in Charlotte back in the 2007-2010 time frame. At IM Florida he set the AG course record in 2007 at 8:49 (:53 + 4:48 + 3:01 give or take a minute or two on each). The website he designed was popular for many years in the local endurance community but has, over the past couple of years, lagged due to lack of updates. This is no fault of Nick, who no longer is interested in maintaining and/or updating the site, which has remained remarkably stable every since I started using it.
It's fun because I can look back and see the my first ever runs (and then later bikes and swims) and my "notes" about each. It is a good way to gain some perspective. Despite what I think of myself now or what I am capable of I felt quite differently back in January 2008. My goals were different, my abilities were different, and I myself was quite different. Yet I am the same person. It's impressive what 6.5 years will do to a guy.
But nowadays, due simply to the fact that I spend a decent amount of time on OTHER workout related sites/software (Garmin Connect, Strava, WKO+, etc) it is not often I find myself logging my workouts via athleticore. Consequently, I have made the very final and bittersweet decision to part ways. My workouts will exist on athleticore (forever?) for all to see and mock but Garmin Connect will be what I use henceforth.
I know everybody was pretty anxious to hear where I would be taking my talents for the rest of this season and beyond, so I just wanted to make sure to fill in the crowds.
