back from vegas

it was a long five days in vegas, away from my wonderful wife and two dogs.

i was in vegas for the annual bicycle trade show, Interbike, where manufacturers wheel out the latest and greatest products that will be coming to market during the upcoming year. these five days also represent a few other things; long days, long nights, little sleep, excellent dinners, smokey hotels, and my only chance to play the tables all year.

as luck (or stupidity) would have it, my cell phone ran out of batteries within the first hour after getting off the plane and i brought a wall charger that did not recognize my phone. that did not make Em very happy as communicado was on an all-time low during the week. luckily for her, i am not one to seek out sin, and only played a max of two hours at the craps table each night.

the show was great for our company, Retul 3D bike fitting, and we had a constant flow of traffic in and out of our booth all week. we also hosted the Schools of Bike Fit, which featured four of the most prominent fit experts in cycling, who spoke on pressing topics in the sub-economy of the bike fit world. we had a great turnout with 140 folks packing our tiny conference room to hear industry leaders like Dan "Slowman" Empfield speak.

now back in boulder, it is time to put in a few good weeks of training to get some fitness for November's IM AZ race. going to vegas always leaves me excited to get back into home and back into the daily routine of getting in consistent workouts again.

train well,
lars
