  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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
