It’s racing season!

Sports

Really, all I can say is Go Rams! I worked at Virginia Commonwealth University from 2000-2004 as a public address announcer, internet play-by-play and radio color commentator. Oh, and voice of some Lady Rams basketball commercials – and let me tell you, it is weird to be doing dishes in the kitchen and hear your voice come on the television in the other room!

Anyway, they are obviously now in the national conversation and they have a fan in Arizona rooting them on to win the whole thing! It’s interesting to wonder if ODU had been able to beat Butler (they lost by 2), if there would be two CAA teams in the Final Four…

Life

Wow, it’s been too long. Holidays, job stuff, and heck, just enjoying life, are all my excuses for the almost three month hiatus here. Since the last time I wrote, here are a few highlights:

We went skiing for a week in Winter Park. I’m still basically a beginner, but Winter Park had some awesome runs that were perfect for a newbie but still got my heart-rate pumping, and didn’t mean I had to get on a lift every 10 minutes. The views were incredible (see below), and Jess and I had a wonderful week. I can see us making that a yearly trip.

February brought my first race of the season – Ragnar Del Sol. It’s my third year running this race and it is by far the most fun you can have over 27+ hours.

This month has been full of group training classes, a 10-day visit from my parents, and getting ready for my first triathlons of 2011. Next Sunday, Jess and I will be doing Marquee Triathlon and then at the end of the month, we’ll be heading down to Rocky Point, Mexico for Las Palomas. Last year it was an incredible amount of fun, so it has a lot to live up to this year…

I think that’s it for now!
