It's Kevin Lewis...your old (and feeling older after reading about your adventures) friend from Russellville. I stumbled on your website about a year and a half ago, and check in every 3 months or so to see how you are doing. Always fun to live vicariously through those who are off doing triathlons in Austrailia with Ann Kournikova when you are married and living in the suburbs. :-) In any case, it is great to hear that you are doing well. We are just now expecting our first kid, so check out our blog if you get the chance. http://ourbabylewis.blogspot.com Keep training... there is a lot of pressure on you now being the most famous person from Russellville in our generation. :-) Hey Katya!

Remember the first 5K you ever ran? I remember slowing down the last mile or so just so we could finish together. Wow how things have changed! If we raced now you would finish and then already be showered with some good food and wine in your stomach and probably would have taken in a good movie before I even crossed the finish line. Well, I am doing a lot of training these days. I'm still a personal trainer in addition to being an M.D. and am looking into starting a wellness center with everything from sports medicine to a weight loss clinic. It gets more and more exciting the more I plan for it. By the way, if you are looking for a partner for "The Amazing Race" then give me a shout cause I'm mad about that show. How cool would it be to race around the world? I've thought about applying many many times. I'll be in southern Cali a lot during this next year. I have quite a few clients that I'm training there, and I'm starting to miss it more now that I'm no longer there for school. Give me a call Katya and we will find a local 5K to get all nostalgic over. Again, kudos to you for your hard work cause it really is paying off.

I did not realize until the end of the race who you were and then immediately recognized you! I was the one huffing and puffing up those hills who tried to yell words of encouragement your way. Not that you needed any - you looked STRONG! Like you said, there were not flat portions on the course to keep one feeling good yet it looked to me like you were doing 400 meter repeats up those hills! Wasn't it a great race? I thought it was a challenging course and filled with fun and supportive athletes. Great job and looks like you are off to a great season! Hey – great race Katya!

Despite the "oops" in the swim, I am sure you are extremely pleased with your efforts and this is a great way to start your come back year! I'm pretty jealous though that you got to do some wine tasting afterwards... talk about a good way for a post race cool down :) Take care, A.J. Katya,
