Moved to Colorado Springs, CO

Haven't posted in a while. Been extremely busy moving, working, and not training.

Accepted a job in Colorado Springs (COS), CO the week before IMAZ. So Monday after the race, I flew back home. Tues, I finished up things with my former employer. Wed, I packed my car with as much stuff as I could and drove to COS. Took two days to get there. Arrived in COS on Thurs night. Fri, spent one day in the office. Sat, flew to San Antonio, TX and then drove to Mexican border for a mgmt meeting at the ranch of our CEO. Tues, flew back and finally got in the office for good on Wed. Whew!!!

So I have been in COS since 4/23 now, about 3 weeks. It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! The Rocky Mtns in the background are gorgeous! They look like a post card or something! Can't wait to do some hiking or biking up there.

I finally found a house on Sat, so I know where we will be living once the owners move out. I should be in there by end of May.

Last week, I came down with a nasty sinus infection. I have had well over 100+ of these over the last 20 years and this was a doozy! Knocked me for a loop. I was planning to ride long on a Sat, but woke up feeling terrible. By Sunday am, I was feeling worse. So I fumbled through the yellow pages hoping to find a doctor on Sun am that would see me. Fortunately, I found a clinic opening at 9:00. I was there by 9:15 to get some meds. He gave me 3 weeks worth because it was so bad. One week down, two to go!

One week later and I am feeling much better, but still not fully well. I will attempt to start training again tonight with a swim of 2500 yds and some strength work. Hopefully, this will be the start of getting back into training mode. I feel like I lost all of my fitness and will have to completely start over from scratch.

I only have 3 weeks to train before the Heatwave Triathlon back home on June 7. I'm flying back home that week to help my family move up to COS. While I am there, I plan to do the Heatwave unless my sinuses prevent my training. If I don't do it, I'll at least attend the tri to see friends and cheer for them. It will be good to see some old friends, both from my tri group and at my church.
