we got the jet lag blues

While Emmy is busy casting her vote for the "hottest male athletes of 2008" on Roman Mica's Everyman Tri blog, I thought I would jot a few notes from this past week.



We've been plagued by jet lag since flying home from Asia last week. We've both done a lot of traveling but we've never been hit this hard. We even had trouble staying awake through the entire episode of The Office last night! 2:30, 3:00, 4:00 and this morning 4:15 were our wake up calls this past week. Things are looking up though as we went to Slumdog Millionaire (Mee-lan-air) tonight and are still up as the clock strikes 11pm! Let's hope that means we can sleep in tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy the videos recently added to the side bar of this blog site featuring American cyclist David Zabriskie's new company, DZ Nuts. These commercials are hilarious but the product is, um, a lifesaver out on bike rides.

On a slightly less hilarious note, Normann Stadler flew in from Germany this last week to get a bike fit at our Retul headquarters. He also demo'd our new outdoor motion capture tracking tool called Retul Red. I put together a short video with highlights (and lots of blinking red lights). If you're a cyclist, you might enjoy.

Forecast in the mountains tomorrow is snow, so Emmy and I are planning a drive up the canyon to Eldora for a snowshoe. Will see about getting some pictures.

I just wonder if the Marsh's and Finanger's are going to be nominated for the 'hottest couple' triathletes. I SO want to be recognized for that!

Hope you had a nice trip to Thailand. Happy Holidays!

Finangers said...

Oh...it has nothing to do with looks or personality...you just have to know the right people...I'll nominate you guys next year!
BTW...LOVE your blog Lars! HILARIOUS!

Amanda, hopefully, you're talking about nominating the Marsh's....someone came up to Brandon at IM AZ and said, "I know you get this all the time, but you are a dead-on Tom Cruise."

The only person I've ever been told I resembled was Doogie Howser :)
