too much

this show is too much. so many things to see and people to meet. of course the first day i pulled a back muscle and am in a lot pain carrying around my backpack. UGH. cool items: Felt's new all carbon tri bike is very sweet, the Scott bikes look sleek and fast and add to the new rage of incorporating the seatpost into the frame. i checked out FSA's line up and there components are so flash and i can't undersatnd what it si about there products that makes them so cool looking. Giro has a new US legal TT helmet called the Advantage 2. very nice a la Lance the man. which brings me to my next point. how fast do you all think Lance will run NY marathon in? i say between 2:50-3:05. more later folks.

It's On!!!!

oh yeah. after a nice early AM flight with my buddy Eddie, we are out at Interbike. we are staying at the Alladin hotel which is pretty nice actually and dnot totally smoky. smoke kills me, it just stinks. anyway, i hit the show for the last half of Wednesday and WOW there was some cool stuff. in no particular order:

• Orca's no suits ROCK, wait till you see them. colors and function and just plain SPEED
• Felt's new all carbon tri bike is real nice with some cool new touches
• cervelo has some cool new paint jobs on there line up
• got to say hello and shoot a picture of Dave Zabriskie, he is plain fast and a toothpick. he makes me look morbidly obese
• FSA has some great looking stuff in aerobars and cranks

more later today as we are on the hunt and all over the show. right now it is 4:14am and i am sitting by the lobby of the hotel. seriously messed up people still out from last night. these cats need some direction. anyway check back later.

fun weekend

well mondya is here and this is no ordinary monday. it is the week of Interbike. yes the largest bike hsow in the world is this week in vegas and i am headed over for the 4th time to get a look at what is hot and why it is better then last year. in the past i've met lance, tyler, axel merckx, levi leipheimer and fast freddy there so this year is all about appointments and work. but i will blog daily and have pictures for all of you for what is the new bling in the bike/tri world.
my buddy AJ DNFed in the Beijing ITU world cup race after having a cold. he flies and races around the world more then i travel around florida so it's no wonder the immune system was down. the ESM race on South BEach was fun and the TV show shold be up in the next few weeks for those of you who have comcast. boris won and he is blazing now but my good buddy eddie b. came from 6th to go to 3rd overall. way to go stud!

check back later

good day. today is another fun filled multi sport day with a spattering of new fatherhood thrown in for good measure. i get to ride to the track and do some intervals to work on my running and then ride to coach an athlee on the bike and then it's back to the office for computer work and preparing for Interbike next week in vegas. there is also a sprint tri here in miami beach Saturday and i get to do the TV commentary for it and host a pre race clinic. all fun work.

kaia is really a happy baby and we spent a bunch of time yesterday laughing together in unison. EZ thought it was very funny. she is growing up quick.

roadie ride

it went OK. i didn't attack at all. sat in the back and chatted with friends. once or twice a year i take the tri bike on the group ride and regret it every time. but i had the powertap on there and i need to watch the power on the ride. i love power!

easier day

the days have been long for us lately with lots of work, athlete meetings and then baby duty. kaia is getting really cute and doing new stuff every week. it is 5:12am now and erinne is off to teach a Fit Camp and i am off to ride with the roadies and then run. i love that workout. later i get to program more workouts and play with our new video camera and motion analysis software. i even might swim today, isn't that a novel idea.

testing

day one. lift off.
