While in Aspen, Steve attended a week long seminar: Practice Management Intense Training. While he did spend a lot of time in the classroom that week, he also sought the opportunity to do some intense altitude training.
The week culminated with his last triathlon of the season in Loveland, Colorado. Just days earlier, on the 20th, he moved into the bottom of the next age bracket to give him more of a competitive edge. (Happy Birthday, Honey.)
He ended the season with an outstanding performance and placed THIRD in his age group!

He is getting old huh?
Older and better!!!
Eric, the competition is dying off.
What competition? By the way - I have an interview in Denver in November - wana show me the local wildlife?
I think the whole point is that if I can stay alive longer than anyone else I will eventually win!
Yeah, but I already won. You can be runner-up.
What an awesome dude, man!!!!
