Weddings, Hospitals and a really cold Boulder Creek

I really can’t begin to emphasize how much I love Boulder. I (surprisingly) enjoyed the Boulder winter (it really was quite mild) — but we’ve now begun what I love the most. It’s hard for me to think of a place I love more than Boulder in the summer. No humidity, the crisp air, the electric blue sky, the breathtaking mountains in the backdrop of everything you do …. and happy people all around you who enjoy where they live as much as you do.

Since Rev3, everything has gone full throttle.

I got back to Boulder the day before my good friends, Billy Edwards and Lara Cooper, finally tied the knot. Billy and Lara prepped this wedding well, complete with a shuttle to take us all to and from the wedding to post-wedding reception.

En route to the wedding, me with Michael Stone, Pete Valentyik and Matty Reed.

The Rev3Tri Experience…..

It is impossible for me to capture what I experienced in this race (and while being at this race), as one of its commentators, one of the race organizers and one of the people in charge of Trakkers, in a blog. I am shocked by how few (errr, none!) pictures I took at this event. I am kicking myself now for so many classic missed opportunities.

However, it was “hit the ground running” from the moment I landed at the Hartford airport on Wednesday through the race – so it’s not like photo opportunities were on the brain.. Like anyone who has helped to put on a race will tell you, everyone wears multiple hats, everyone learns what they’d wished they’d done differently, and everyone is running around with their head cut off for days on end. Sleep over 4 hours a night is a true luxury.

I’ve decided to include some highlights of this weekend as opposed to writing a novel of my experience.

• Meeting the beloved Trakkers...

Don’t forget to check out the Rev3tri race site this Sunday for LIVE coverage and updates on the race. I’m excited to see what advanced technoloogy can bring to our sport…..

Heather Gollnick and I will be doing the live commentary on race day, with Lars Finanger covering the live text updates on Slowtwitch. FUN!!!!!

Cheers!
