Quick Update

Wowzers.  Forgot I had this little "blog."  Here's a quick update of what's been going on over the past 6 months since I had to whip ass on the Red Line P90X style.

We've done some traveling.  We went to Kona again for the IM world champs in October.  Spent Thanksgiving in Cabo again.  I was in Scottsdale and Florida over Christmas.  We've been stuck every weekend since.  Hopefully a quick trip to Bonaire is in order, a CA visit and maybe Europe in the spring.  I love United!

I finally got my act together and applied to business school.  I have apps in to Indiana (Kelley), Notre Dame (Mendoza), Georgetown (McDonough) and Colorado (Leeds).  I've interviewed at all but Colorado at this point, so that's a good sign.  Hopefully I have some decisions to make in about a month.  But, bottom line is that I most likely won't be in Chicago as of summer's end. 

I didn't race at all last year.  Had some untimely injuries, a slew of weddings and bachelor parties, and very few free weekends.  I was all set to race the 70.3 in Cancun when I had a bad crash on Sheridan Road just before the race.  The crash happened on Labor Day and 5 months later, I'm still not 100%.  I am Debbie Downer on that front.

This season though, I am for sure racing Ironman Wisconsin.  First of that distance.  I'm nervous already.  We're also planning on some 70.3's around the country to mix with some long vacation weekends.  Nothing is set in stone just yet.

I'm also happy to say I'll be racing for the Wattie Ink Elite Team.  I don't know my teammates yet, at least not personally, but we're all good internet friends.  You'll see a lot of #rocktheW on Twitter out of all of us, but I'll do my best to keep things manageable on that front.  Wattie himself has lined up some huge sponsors for us: K-Swiss, Blue Seventy, Kestrel Bicycles, Speedfill, FuelBelt, Kask Helmets, and a whole slew of others.

I'll also make an effort to write more....that is for all 6 of you that may read this!
