I had been waging an internal war with my former enduro soul and new multi sport manifestations. The question was this: Multi sport or single speed? A half Iron Man was calling my name along with single speed adventures up and down the mitten of Michigan.

I had a nice long conversation with my support staff (wife and dogs), made a T-chart of the positives and we decided to focus energy into three sports instead of one.

I could not think of a better way to celebrate this epiphany than to thrash the legs at a local 5K. I made mountains out of urban hills, feared a heart attack from all the pounding and pushed my way to a new PR and a 5^th place age group finish.

Next stop for the Traveling Circus: The Barry Roubaix

With love
