As I looked at this blog it was obvious that I haven’t updated it
in a long while. I had big plans for last year having nicknamed it my recovery
tour. My expectations are much higher than what became reality. In August I did
run the Wildwood, NJ triathlon and that clearly pointed out that I would not be
ready to run the Nation’s Triathlon in September. The organizers of the
Nation’s Triathlon granted me another deferment so that I can attempt in to
2013. The primary focus was to return to the Seagull Century Ride in Salisbury,
MD.
My wife and I created Team Lewis and rode to find a cure for cancer with
Team In Training. We raised over $3000 and trained 100’s of miles and completed
the 100-mile ride in 6 hours and 15 minutes. This is was 2 hours and 15 minutes
faster than I did it in 2011. This was the finial event of 2012 and in October
2012 I had my right shoulder operated on and spent 4 months recovering.
2013 Team Lewis is going to take part in the Eagleman Half Ironman in
June. The team for this event is myself and daughter Tesia. We have committed
to raising $5000 to find a cure for cancer. We started out training in January
and are gearing up for the intensity as we progress forward. What we need is
your encouragement and your donations. Remember all donations are tax
