Year of Barry not going to end...

     Thanks to the lovely Trophy Wife Johnna for a great "Year of Barry."  I'm pushing for this year to have 1080 days...
    Turned 51 today, and they decided to have the Super Bowl on my special day.  We had dinner with Pam and Erich at Sushi Roku the night before.  This morning, got up ran a great tempo descending 11 mile run and swam 5400 yards in the hot pool.
    We joked all year it was the Year of Barry--I can't complain, here are the highlights:

   December 2011 (appetizer for Year of Barry) - USC Trojans win 4th National Championship (Jack's third) and he played unbelievable defense.
    January 2012 - Got married to Trophy Wife Johnna
    February 2012 - Turned 50.  Rode 100 miles that day and came home to a smashing surprise birthday.  Even Connor made it back from Jacksonville for the celebration.  Awesome.
    March 2012 - Ironman New Zealand.  Johnna and I headed to New Zealand to race an Ironman and see my relatives.  Fantastic 2 week trip.
     June 2012 - LA Kings win the Stanley Cup.
     July 2012 - New dedication to triathlon training.  New regimen, new focus, new goals, new Coach.
     August 2012 - Took Brandon and Christian (and John and Larisa) fly fishing in Montana.
     October 2012 - Vacationed in Kona Hawaii and spectated at the Ironman World Championship.  Awesome trip.  
     December 2012 -  USC Trojans win 5th National Championship in a row in a nail biter against UCLA 11-10.  Took lead with :40 to go in game.  Unbelievable.
     December 2012 - A week later, PR'd at Tucson Marathon.
     January 2013 - Jordan Corke's trip to the US and visit to YNP.

Awesome year so far, and here's to keeping it going...
