Hello from the Mile High City!

Hi from Denver! The past few days have been insane to say the least. Phil and I finally made it to Denver on Saturday afternoon and met our landlord and began to unpack the trailer and set up our new place. It is still a work in progress, but we are getting there! We spent all day Sunday unpacking boxes and buying furniture since we had to sell most of ours before leaving DC.

we still have a lot of unpacking to do!

This morning after I dropped Phil off for his first day of work I took my bike out and got lost explored the area for a few hours. I think I could get used to cycling here- the views are stunning, the weather is perfect and every single cyclist said hello. In fact, 4 older guys spotted me in the state park and they could tell I was lost  new to the area so they invited me to ride 2 loops of Cherry Creek State Park with them. These guys were retired and ride together 3-4 times a week. When I told one of the men I was doing an IM in 5 weeks (5 WEEKS!) he told me he did Kona in 1986 when he was 35 years old. These dudes were FAST. They kicked my ass up and down the hills. I hope to be like them when I am retired! Here are some pictures from my ride.

It was a pretty epic ride :)
