California Ironman 2010

(Kettlebell Lift)


(445lbs Deadlift)


In less than one month, I will compete in Ironman California. I have spent the past several months eagerly preparing for the event. From 5:40 AM swim practices with the University of California Irvine Masters Team to grueling Crossfit workouts, I have really pushed myself the past 5 months. The stringent workout schedule has allowed me to grow physically, gain mental fortitude and stay healthy.


(Surf City 1/2 Marathon)

I run less, but I'm quicker. Last month, I ran in the Surf City 1/2 Marathon and finished in 1:38 or 2 minutes faster than my personal record (PR). I attribute to the new PR to running less, exercising new muscle groups and maintaining a diverse workout schedule

Ironman California will be my first Ironman event and I really look forward to the event. The total distance will be 70.3 miles (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and 13.1 mile run).

Don't be afraid, if you are not "qualified."

You'll never know when you're big break will happen.  The secret is to be ready at all times. Last weekend, Matt Williams, a Texas Tech sophomore, won a month of free rent by kicking a 30-yard field goal during a contest at his school's football game. Although Texas Tech is currently ranked #8 in the country, the team has missed six extra point attempts and half of its field goal attempts. Following the contest, Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach, approached Williams and asked him to be the team's extra point kicker. Tomorrow, Williams receives his big break and will kick extra points against #19 Kansas. If you have a talent, don't be afraid to share it.  You'll never know who is watching and where it will take you.

Google Analytics 4

As we transition into 2023, one of the biggest digital opportunities marketers have is to confirm Google Analytics 4 (G4) is installed and tracking on all digital entities. 🖥️ 📈 G4 will replace Google's legacy Universal Analytics (UA) and focuses more on event-based actions compared to hit-based actions. G4 features a new dashboard with more customization and access to predictive analytics. 🔎 The migration from UA to G4 is expected to occur in July 2023, where UA will be discontinued. As proactive marketers, we can work to ensure our organizations are prepared. For more insights, view Google's overview here .
