| Homeowners!!! |
My life is about to get turned upside down, I have a living creature brewing inside my wife and he is all about done cooking. We are patiently waiting for him to grace us with his presence any day now, Crystal is officially on maternity leave and waiting for little man to pop out. It still doesn't feel real to me but I know as soon as I see the little monster I will be slapped with the reality of being a dad. I never really thought I would be a dad, and honestly didn't have a desire to want to be one, my dad was there when I was little but then was in and out as long as I have cognitive memories.

My biggest fear growing up was growing old and turning into a version of my father and I can assure you nobody wants that. I have worked my ass off the last 10 plus years to be were I am at, I am truly grateful and extremely lucky to live the life I do. If you would of told me 10 years ago I would be living in Colorado, be married (to a woman who is way out of my league!), be a home owner, be a top age group triathlete, and be on the precipice of becoming a father I would of told you, you are on GLUE!!! I can not express my gratitude enough and can't believe how lucky of a guy I am.

I feel like the pregnancy has flown by, however, Crystal would beg to differ. She has been one badass chick and never ceases to amaze me on how awesome she really is. I am so proud of her, she has been a trooper through the whole thing. I told her this pregnancy is like a marathon, all she has left is the last 10K, and once she starts going into labor we will be on the final 5K, it will be painful and hurt but keep pushing and bam BABY time. I can't wait to hold little dude and see what we have created. Crystal sense of humor is still strong, I am reassured by this with the constant berating and being made fun of most of the time. I love it and deserve to be given a hard time and no one I have ever met is as hard on me then her. She knows what makes me tick and I love being the butt of any and all jokes when she throws them my way.

As far as training goes I feel like I have strewn together several strong weeks of getting after it. I am lucky enough to become an ambassador for Source Endurance Training Center of the Rockies
SETCR and work with local Pro Cyclist
Zack Allison. Zack Rides for
Elevate Pro Cycling Team, I have been utilizing his training facility the past few months with some fellow gnarly dudes, one of my main training partners has been
Ishmael Johnson he did my tattoo and in January and told me he is training for Boulder Ironman. He is a badass artist and owns
Scrimshaw Tattoos definitely check out his work he is super talented. We did a bike ride up Rist Canyon and I haven't been bitch slapped like that in awhile, this dude is seriously strong on the bike and not to mention one of the fastest swimmers in the area, I believe that Ish will absolutely crush Boulder and I am super glad I don't have to race

We meet at 4:45 am on Tuesdays throw down an hour interval session then head out for a brick run. I am truly appreciative for being able to use SECTR and have fast partners to train with. We are trying to make Tuesday morning Triathlon specific and have started to gain momentum and will keep getting more and more people getting after it bright and early.

| Herbalife24 hook up! |
I am currently signed up for Boulder 70.3 June 11 and am hoping to muster some kind of shape so I don't embarrass myself, I know I won't be as fast as last year and that is okay, I will have a new addition and my main priority will no longer be Swim, Bike, Run. I'm hoping to get in a few other local races to wear my badass
Wattie Ink race kit. I wore it for the first time this week at the
Horsetooth Time Trial it was super comfy and looked so legit. Also wanted to give a big shout out to
Herbalife24 for the hook up on all the supplements, I know they will only help me when I'm training hard.

Next time I will be posting I will be a dad and that is a trip, I have no idea what I will be doing but I know Crystal and I will figure it out as we go, there have been a lot of dumber people that have figured the whole parent thing out so I know we will be fine. As long as we have an open line of communication and don't take everything so series we will have a great time.
