I haven't written in nearly 6 weeks and I know it's completely unacceptable since there are SO many people following my every move. I'm gonna run through the highlights and then commit to writing a few race reports.
1) NEW JOB! In a very unexpected turn of events, I managed to find a brand new job that I'm pretty excited about. I finished my full time work at Saris yesterday and will start my new job with TeamSoft next Monday. I'll be back in the world of consulting, which will be a major change of pace for me, but overall a very good change for my career and my life.
2) RACES! I've competed in 3 races in the last 6 weeks. The first was the CrazyLegs Classic - a Madison tradition. It's an 8K (5 mile) run that goes through beautiful downtown Madison and finishes on the 50 yard line of Camp Randall. I had an awesome time running it with my friend Steve Donovan. We kinda cruised through it with no real plan or no urge to race. In the last mile though, we kicked it up a notch and with some help from a tailwind we cranked out a 7:10 mile to finish the run in under 40 minutes. Of course, we celebrated with a beer afterwards. But alas the weather was nasty - windy and cold, so we headed out and went on with our days.
I'll write up race reports (see, here's the commitment to write more!) for the Madison Half Marathon and the Lake Mills Triathlon.
3) BOWLING! Joe, Jason and I have started a bowling league in Madison. Yes, we are officially dorks. Each week we head to Dream Lanes to bowl on league night. As part of the league deal, we get to bowl for free all summer long so typically we end up at the bowling alley more than once week. And, if that doesn't sound dorky enough...Joe and I have had some bowling lessons from our bowling coach. Oh yeah, we are COOL.
Other fun things coming up: a weekend in Door County with Joe, Liberty Half Ironman, Father's Day, Cranberry Lake Weekend.....
Stay Tuned for those race reports!
