How about Tarah Umara Wood? I was going to suggest Issac Newton Wood if it was a boy.
Congrats on breaking the 2:15 mark. I imagine that will be especially important as the NYC Triathlon goes to a lottery system next year. Will that mean that you can automatically get into the race without going through the lottery?
My other thought on next year is that you’ll be able to get into the elite wave – which means less of a log jam as people are leaving the water and heading into T1. Will you get a better rack placement as well?
Let me know about this stuff so I can live vicariously through your new elite status!
Your description of swallowing the salt water was terrifying. I’m sure your Infinit Nutrition mix is already balanced for electrolytes, so the additional salt intake probably threw things off quite a bit. I’m glad you were able to focus and get through it.
I can tell you that I’m heading into 40 this week and I feel great about the journey that I’ve had and where I’m going. And if you eventually slow down a little, you’ll still be a hell of a lot better off than those people who are wearing out their rocking chairs (both by worrying or through a sedentary lifestyle). Or to put another way, in my 40′s, I’ll be more fit than most people in their 20′s. I can handle that.
By the way, I was sore on Monday and Tuesday, but pretty well recovered by Wednesday and started working out again on Friday. I don’t want to do what I did last year and slack off to the point where I lose a lot of fitness – I’m looking forward to working in more cycling and swimming during the colder weather.

Awesome news Brandon. You will love and cherish every minute. You will experience what true, pure love is when your child is born. I have a 8 month old little princess who brings me joy every minute of the day, even changing stinky poo diapers is fun. I wish you and your wife lots of luck. Jaydog.
Congrats Brandon! Awesome, awesome news! It doesn’t get any better than this. So excited for your new family addition!
So, have you picked out a new yet? Hmmm…on second thought, forget the name, have you picked out a jogging stroller yet? Haha…
Take care!
Actually, I have been looking at them. Tough to find one that is well rated as a bike trailer AND a jogging stroller! If you see anything, shout!
Congrats to you both, that is great news!
Congrats to you and the wife!
More awesome people need to be having babies. Thanks in advance for your contribution to the gene pool!
