Change of focus...

This time of year is sometimes hard to deal with, and sometimes all I want to keep up all year. Since Ironman Florida, I've only done 4 runs, and one easy group ride. I've been drinking beer and eating a ton of junk food! (Probably not the best recovery method physically, but mentally, it's spot-on!)

I'm so busy getting sponsorship proposals going, and sent out in time. Tons of phone calls, lots of research for companies who I can get sponsorships with possibly, and of course, the holidays. Luckily, I've decided not to even worry about how much food I eat, and weight I gain. It's a real break from the norm I've had in the past few years.

Coaching is getting crazy busy, so I'm having to really sit-down and make sure I'm on top of it. I'm excited about the clients I've got though, and think this year could be really awesome.

I'm headed to Vegas this Friday night, for my Bachelor Party! Right now it's 15 buddies from San Diego, college teammates and other friends from all over the country, my brother, and my fiance's brother, all meeting there! Should be pretty awesome. I'm sure after this weekend, I'll feel like I don't want any more beer for a LONG TIME! One of the boys going with me is jameson, so I'm sure he'll have some interesting things to write about the weekend! (And if you've read his blog, you know he loves beer!)

Speaking of beer and sponsors, I'm working on a local San Diego brewery as a sponsor. Wish me luck on that one!

Till later...NFA.

Jim Vance Ironman Racing...Step 1, the off-season!

So this is the start....I've decided to do a blog, and let people follow my journey. Should be a great year, and hopefully longer! Stay tuned to all the fun, but for now, it's the off-season. Go drink some beer and eat some turkey! See you soon...
