Absent

I’m still alive, but it’s still sort of crazy busy around here. But I wanted to do a quick update:

  • The wedding was excellent! There are some pictures that friends and family have shared with us in my photo album, but the photographer’s pictures won’t be done until sometime in July. I’ll be sure to post some more once we get those.
  • My training the past couple of weeks has really suffered. My IM specific training still really hasn’t started yet. My longest ride thus far is 60 miles. That’s not good. I’ve accepted that this probably won’t be a PR year, but I don’t want to suffer more than necessary out there. Bleh.
  • I don’t think my life will really settle down until sometime in July. We’re moving the rest of Carol’s stuff to our new place next weekend. The weekend after that, I have another race. And the two weekends after that, we’ll be gone on our honeymoon.
  • Work is getting to be a real drag again.
  • I had my first tri of the season yesterday. It wasn’t great, but I’m happy with the results considering my training volume thus far. More on that in another post.

That’s about it, I guess. I’m horribly behind on your guys/gals blogs. I think I have something like 400+ posts to catch up on. Ack! I’ve been thinking about actually putting the whole blog world on hold for a few weeks until life settles back down again. There’s just entirely too much going on it seems. Something’s gotta give. :(

Hope everything is well with you all! Have a great start of the work week!

  1. Savour the moment and enjoy the “non-work” aspects as they unfold! Glad to hear you had a good time at the wedding… great photos of the happy couple!

  3. Chris,

    Congrats. The photos look awesome. I’m sure you’ll do fine at IMMoo. You’ve got 2 years of training in your legs.

    If youre behind on reading you can skip my blog. Nothing interesting really going on over there at the moment ;-)

    Mike

  4. No worries on your absence! I think busy probably doesn’t begin to explain your summer so far.

    By all means, take a blog break — but wait – you did a tri yesterday? Better get us a race report first :)

  5. Beautiful pics! :) No worries–you have so much going on–we understand if you are absent! Gotta get in family and training before blogland, ya know? Looking forward to meeting you in WI–don’t worry about lack of volume–you are so strong already that maybe it won’t be a PR year, but you’ll still have fun. I am amazed you are able to do as much as you are with everything going on in your life! Enjoy being a newlywed–and your HONEYMOON!!! Where are you guys going? We went to St. Lucia in the West Indies and had soooo much fun. Can’t believe I’m hitting 2 years in August–time sure flies when you’re having fun!

    Congrats again! :)

  6. I am in the same boat, being behind in blogs. But your married I would rather have you doing newlywed stuff than reading my drivel. bolder may still want you to read his stuff though.

  7. Yes, like Jessie said, what tri did you do this weekend?

    And your photo is beautiful. Happy Wedding!

  8. I did Mantiou, yesterday. I should have a race report written up shortly. :)

  9. Where are you going on your honeymoon? Don’t feel guilty about lack of training! You just got married and are going through a million changes! Enjoy the moment!

  10. CONGRATS DARLING!

  11. You were at Manitou?! Why did I see you there? Although, you were probably finished before I even got out on the run.

  12. Sounds like quite a whirlwind for you. Do what you need to do. Blogland will be here when you get back.

    Well since you’re not hoping for a PR at IM WI, I’ll let you draft off of me on the run. =)

  13. Congrats! Carol and you look great in the pictures, there must be tons of dissappointed single guys and gals out there. :)

    Can’t believe you are even still training in your 1st year of marriage! That’s fantastic focus and determination. Have fun!
