Breathing

Proper Breathing will be my top priority for training for the 2009 Games. My Sister in law Ashley Thiel took this photo at the games. Thanks Ash!

Motivation 8th Place Finisher

"I took the format used from last years games. 100 points for finishing first, 95 for second, 90 for third, then 89 and so on. The number next to the time is the points they recieved for that event, then the added total. The last 2 numbers are their total points and placements from the scoring. Remember that this is just the scoring of the top 40 placers!! So add in another 100+ people, results of course change, but I dont think it would make a big difference in the Top 10." comments from the games site
