Rainmaker,
I truly enjoy reading your Blog. It helps to provide me with some additional motivation.
Out of curiosity, what line of work are you in? I see it takes you on some regular travels.
Hi Jake!
I work in IT, designing enterprise computer systems for large organizations. I travel a fair bit domestically, and also in waves internationally. I also do a bit of speaking at conferences and events, which add to the travel schedule.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the comments!
I’ve been following your blog now for about two weeks and love it. I love seeing somebody blog about the whole spectrum of triathlons espcially the technology side of things. I love these pictures too, I’m a fellow photographer and love seeing the different images you’ve composed of the sport. Thanks
Andy
I love your blog. Just spent the last hour scrolling back page by page to get to the last page! HA. I hope you see this comment 🙂
