A few days to go until the 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas. Am I excited? Yes. It finally gives me a reason to road trip out somewhere west of Louisiana. Along the way I get to see a few friends, meet coach, and see real mountains!
After a long Friday of work, and a run with Wyatt, I packed up the truck and took off…well, I wanted to leave a 5pm, but 9pm is close enough. I made it 30 min down the road and realized I left the little yellow computer for my power meter at home, so I had to turn around and go get it. Nothing like adding an extra hour to a trip! I arrived in Iowa City a little after midnight, just in time to sleep!
So far I have:
-Made it west of Louisiana
-Met up with friends in Littleton, CO
-Explored Boulder
-Met Coach Steve (and got a lesson in blowing bubbles from his son)
-Spent a lot of time relaxing in Estes Park
-Had a open fire steak and potato dinner, along with homemade ice cream
-Met a few Greenville Track/XC alumni
Here are just a few pictures for the start of the trip:
 |
| The World's Largest Truck Stop...I wanted candy. |
 |
| "Nebraska... the good life." ...if you like living/driving though a flat state. |
 |
| It rained on me in Lyons, CO. |
 |
| I could almost see the mountains. |
 |
| Estes Park...7500ft...Is it getting harder to breathe? |
 |
| A nice, small cabin to relax at. |
 |
| My room in the mountains. |

| More Estes! |
