I'm back in Boulder, and have made what feels pretty close to a full recovery! I am now able to eat just about anything (although I've been asked to put my consumption of red meat on hold for a while), and I'm no longer experiencing any bathroom issues! That's a very good thing, indeed!

I'm taking it pretty easy exercise-wise, but I'm still hoping I'll be up to full-speed by the end of the week. Amanda and I are off to Tempe, and are both scheduled to compete in the Soma Half Ironman. My friend, Jeff Suffolk is the race director, and he was kind enough to invite us out there to race. It takes place on much of the IM Arizona course, so I've got plenty of familiarity with each leg. I'm hoping I'll be feeling great, as I look forward to having one final race to end the season on a high note. Last year I traveled down to Mexico for that very reason, and this time it'll be an above-the-border experience... should be fun.

Well, I'm attempting to get back on Mountain time, so I had better head towards some sleep. Thanks for checking in, and I'll be back soon.

Until then.
