I am on holiday right now, and loving every minute!

We have had a great time with the boys, the beaches, and good ol' family time.

I have been getting a lot of training in this week and feel very good. I told my coach that I felt as though my IM legs were starting to show up. I am doing a Century Ride(100 miles) on Saturday, followed closely by a 15 minute run. This sould be interesting to see how the legs, nutrition, and training hold up.

We have had one IM "casualty" as Bob Skidmore decided to bail on IM, in liue of suffering the rest of the summer he will finish "unfinished" projects-me thinks he may be the wiser for having done so.

****I would like to briefly mention that the time spent with Kim West heading out to the funeral was special, and I am moved as an athlete and Iowan to engage the solution "process", more on this as a formulate a plan of action.*****
