I Was LIVE (in Denver)

This morning I jumped in my car and drove up to Denver. I had a date with some local TV stations for a LIVE interview about IronKids…because the next race is this Sunday in a little town called Louisville right outside of Denver!
I was in the car by 6:30am on my way to the Denver FOX station for the “Good Morning Colorado” show. It was doubly cool because I haven’t been in a TV station since my last college class in December of 2004. Things sure have gotten very modernized and computerized…but that’s a different story.
The interview went very well (at least I think so:) and I was on and off the air in about 3-4 minutes. They had some b-roll (footage they play while I’m talking) of the IronKids race from last year. After calling home and telling mom and dad all about it, I drove around Denver for an hour and got some breakfast.
I had to be at the ABC studio at 11am for their local news show. Same sort of routine…wait for my segment, get miked, sit on stage, talk about IronKids, and then say “thanks” and “goodbye”. I think that both segments went really good, I had a great time and I love ANY opportunity to talk to anyone about IronKids!
So I was back on the road by noon, heading south, back to the OTC. I got here just in time to grab a quick snack, rub on a bunch of sunscreen, and grab my bike. Since I missed out on swim practice this morning (boo hoo)…I had a good brick (bike/run combo) workout that I did in the afternoon. The whole time I was on my bike, the skies were threatening with thunderstorms, but it held off until I finished biking (and I did my run on the indoor treadmill just to be safe, and dry:).
Nothing as exciting as the afore mentioned activities happened for the rest of the day. I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the computer working out travel plans for future races and getting a head start with my professors for the next MBA classes. I’m going to be in Europe for the first 3 weeks of class so I need to have my books and supplies with me when I leave 2 weeks before the class starts (complicated, I know). I’ve also realized that I will have to travel with 4 WHEELS (2 for racing and 2 for training) and my nice compact bike box will only hold 2…and sometimes I don’t think it will close with just 2!!
But to solve the question of clean underwear in Europe, I’m shipping a big box of extra supplies to myself…I’m going to send it before I leave for Connecticut on the 3rd, and it should be waiting for me when I arrive at the Air Force base in Sembach, Germany on the 8th! One dilemma solved, 100 more to figure out:).
