finishing up well. I have been out of the loop, busy moving. Back to the training now though it's great!!

I have started preping for World Champs in Triathlon & Aquathon.  I will race at Age Group National Champs, but will not focus on that event.  I am very happy with my body is handling training right now(specifically my back!)  Getting close to a normal training schedule and almost back to normal!  For those of you who don't know what I've gone through the last two years have been though.  I was struck by a car during a tri which left me with a broken jaw, and back.  So to be in the position I am right now I am happy, but can't wait to be back on top of my game.  Back to training hard to get back within reach of my goals.

So I'm updating for the first time in a long while...Sorry everyone for the delay.  I just put a new hard drive in my computer and everything is now set up.  I have updated www.AshleyCarusone.com with this years event schedule there are some apperances to be added but its pretty close.  Check it out!  I am looking for a clothing sponsorship for this season so if anyone is interested let me know!

getting ready for World Champs(tri & aquathon)

Hey everyone,

  Just a quick update from Omaha!  I arrived last night, and can't wait to swim.  The pool is amazing!  I will add pictures later.  I am psyched to swim.  If you don't know already it will be televised on Sunday 8-9pm on NBC, Monday 8-9pm on USA, Tuesday 8-9pm on USA, Wednesday 8-9pm on USA, Thursday 8-9pm on USA, Friday 8-9pm on NBC, Saturday 8-9pm on NBC.  I will be competing in 400 IM, 200 IM, and 200 Fly.

One year later I'm back in action. If you don't know already, I was competing in a race in Bradenton, Fl when I was struck by a car.  I broke my jaw and have no joint on my left side, and had a fracture in my back.  It was slow going for a couple months, but I am back and in pretty good shape too!  I finished by first race back in a great time, 2hours and 15minutes.  I wasn't expecting much, I just wanted to be able to compete again and feel good.  The swim was no problem, I felt good on the bike I didn't push it.  I was out in front pretty much by myself, 3 guys passed me but that was it.  It was just me, my bike, and the strong gusting winds.  Off the bike I felt great, I just went out for a smooth run.   I finished 5th Overall and 1st Woman.  It was a great way to start back.  Now it's time to get ready for Olympic Trials (swimming)!

Training has been going great!  I feel good in the water, and my legs feel great.

It also feels great to be done with school!  I will miss the Best of the US qualifier next weekend due to graduation:(  But I will be racing May 18th!  Should be a lot of fun, I can't wait.

So I am still trying to get my profile updated. I am excited for the upcoming tri season. I can't wait to start racing full time now that  I am done with my NCAA eligibility.  If you want more information about me check out my website. www.ashleycarusone.com
