Hello friends and family,

I'm settled here in Las Vegas and have the first day of bike camp under my belt. I am here with my triathlon team, Mile High Multisport, 13 of us total. What a great group of people and we rented a huge house in Henderson. Weather is upper 70's/low 80's, although pretty windy so far. Rode yesterday 50 miles and then ran 4. Today is 60 miles and we already swam. Swim was with a Las Vegas Masters group in a beautiful heated outdoor pool. When we started it was completely dark and as we swam, we got to see the sun come up...absolutely gorgegous! What nice folks to welcome us to their group! Pool is HUGE and saline water, which is a far cry from our poisonous pool back at ACC (all of us got sick last week from the chemicals being way too high)...lol!

We are biking through Lake Mead Park which is beautiful. Lots of water, hills and sun! Yeah baby! Also, really nice road surface...all asphault and fast. Yesterday the Las Vegas Tri Club was racing, so we had lots of company. Today it should be pretty quiet with all of you peeps back at work...God I love being on vacation!

After my ride and run yesterday, I wound down with some sun/pool time...it was low to mid 80's here and I got in a short nap. What a perfect day! If this is how the pros train, sign me up! Where's my sponsor??? Someone? Anyone?? ha ha ha!

Oh, did I mention having a latte after swim today, and then a big plate of pancakes and fruit?? LIVIN' LARGE AND LOVING IT!!!!
