That's right... "Under-train," not "under-promise" and over deliver. It's something that's permeating my thoughts this past week as I mentally prepare to race in Venice, FL at the Rev 3 Half Rev on Sunday. Now, that I'm here sitting outside on a balcony writing this post and the weather has the upper hand, it all seems a little more calm. I should clarify that. My normal pre-race anxiety is a little more calm whereas the weather, is less than calm with winds howling around 20mph with gusts to 35 plus. It's kind of an odd thing to see as the sky is a wonderful blue, very few clouds, and nice and warm out, but it sure is windy.

This past week I had the opportunity to travel to a place I had never been before, Des Moines, Iowa to attend the Thinc Iowa 2012 conference put on by my new friends at Silicon Prairie News. My trek to Des Moines began with a few goals and ended with more positive surprises. The bottom line is that if you've never been to Thinc Iowa, you should definitely check it out next year.

I’m an aspiring triathlete, entrepreneur, and passionate human. I've spent the past couple of years of my life rebounding from a half-decade in the corporate world while consulting others on launching things via Zero Confines and co-founding/launching a few ventures as well (CoWork Jax, One Spark). While I spent some time blogging about my triathlon trials and tribulations at tristarter.tumblr.com I haven't yet put fingers to keyboard for my own personal blog.
