much a do.......

What have I been up to? Well, let's see, Donovan turned 6 and had a great weekend of birthday activities. He invited a whole bunch of his friends to our house, and we entertained kids and adults during a lego-themed party. Everyone seemed to have fun

Spring seems to finally have arrived here in Seattle, and, man, is it ever welcome after months of cold and rain and cold and rain. Just this past Saturday, we were out riding in 36F temperatures in the morning. Sunday, it hit 69F and I finally got a chance to wear my uber cool First Endurance cycling kit. Speaking of First Endurance, they have just released the much-awaited Kona-Mocha EFS liquid shot, and I'll be handing out flasks for you to try out this awesome new flavor.

Pretty sharp looking kit, no?

I'm trying my hardest to remain positive and take comfort in knowing injuries are like dark moments in races, in that they do pass. This particular one has haunted me for months, and I've been advised to take a careful look at my schedule and reconsider some of the June-July events I wanted to do (ie., Boise 703., Rev3 Portland, Lake Stevens 70.3). Argh. Ask any person who pursues multisport/endurance seriously, and they'll more likely than not confess being injured is the worst, with being sick very close behind.

Nothing like burgers, fries and shakes after a day of hard work....

On the bright side of things, my family and I get to travel down to my homeland in the very near future. It has been years since we have visited and I'm excited to be back and have Donovan spend time with his Abuelo. We are all looking forward to having lots of fun, eating great food, reliving and creating memories, soaking it all in.

that's about it. thanks for reading. peace!
