Is it Spring yet?

Ok, I haven’t been astute about writing and I’m sorry about that. Things here in the great state of Colorado have been great. I think that Spring has actually arrived and it’s NOT going anywhere! We had a nice thunderstorm the other day with floods and lighting! Good thing it took place on my day off. Yesterday it down poured but let up late in the afternoon. So my 2 hour bike ride took place on the trainer while watching a movie, followed by a 40 minute transition run, took place outdoors in the light ran. It was perfect and refreshing.

Earlier in the week I went for a run with Howard (director in the office) along the trails in South Boulder. He showed me around gave me a lay of the land. All I can say is that it was running Nirvana. The air was fresh, the trail soft beneath my feet and relaxing on the mind. I can’t wait to run on the trails later next week.

Today I had a nice long run early in the morning. Great day with 47 degree temps and 5mph winds from the north. After the run it was off to work at Bicycle Village here in Denver, where I picked up the 2nd job last week. I help on the sales floor, fitting bikes, product ambassador for Zoot Sports and the great new wetsuit “Zenith”.

Next weeks workouts are still in the works, but swimming will be key as I have to get ready for Wildflower’s long course (1/2 Ironman distance race). That race is May 4th and can’t wait to race it after working it the last couple years. I want to thank Laura Miller and Tri Cal for their generosity in comping my entry for the race too.

Have a great week everyone and keep posted for past race photos form the winter. Cheers!
