Getting back to normal

So I finally was able to let my failure at Aconcagua go....I've decided that I'll go back again, stay healthy and summit that monster!

I'm sorting through all sorts of things now and just beginning my 2013 triathlon training regime.  Man--I have a lot of work to do!

I am now writing the Aconcagua trip report...should be done within the week....
