Starting over... Kind of.

Well I have been in SLC for 2 weeks now. It has been a huge change for me with work because the last 9 years I have had a desk job and now I am working a physically demanding job. Training has been picking up a little more now that I am somewhat settled and I have gotten in a crit and a TT.
The crit was funny because there were about 35-40 guys and 20 of them were on the same team. I was obviously the only Feedback rider so I did what I could and chased every break I could. It was fun but I had no expectations since I didn't feel good all day and I knew every time I went after a break there would be 1-2 guys jump on my wheel from the 20 man team. I ended up 11th but have better expectations for the future once I get used to the work changes.
The TT was a 10k and was HOT. It was 98 when I went off and was extremely dry so the mouth instantly dried out. I arrived late so I only got about a 10 minute warm up so the legs were still pretty tight when I went off. I ended up 6th in the TT and again I have better expectations in the upcoming weeks once I get use to the physical work.

Talk to you all soon.

Homeward Bound

Well this will be my 1st post ever and it is going to be a somewhat serious one. For those of you that know me I am originally from Utah but have lived in Colorado for almost 11 years. I believe in fate, destiny and kharma so I think I must have done something right to get the opportunity to meet all of the people I have here in Colorado. I have made some amazing friendships here and it is extremely difficult to leave them but I have to think of family 1st. We have decided to move back to Utah for a couple of reasons but mainly to be closer to family.
In the past three months we have sold our house, had a baby (Jayce Thomas was born May 9th) and now we are moving out of state. I don't think I could add anymore stress to our lives right now so the only thing I can hope for is that this is the right decision. If not I will be back here bugging all of you again but I'm pretty sure this is what we need to do.

I'll be back to visit probably once or twice a year so you're not rid of me entirely but you won't have to see me on a weekly basis or monthly for that matter.
