I just returned from 3 days at Interbike, the one and only major cycling expo.   The Las Vegas Convention Center was bustling with distributors, retailers, media, athletes and reps all checking out the latest and greatest in the bike world.  I went to the show with one of my sponsors, nuun, to help out at the booth.  It was fun working at a booth and helping pedal the product to the cycling world.   It was a long, tough three days though.  Lots (and lots) of time on your feet...  Plus, it's Vegas!

To say that the 2005 Ironman Wisconsin was a rough day is an understatement!  Wow!  In my short Ironman racing career (4) that is by far the hardest I have ever done.  Throw in a few extenuating circumstances (a cracked frame T-9 days to race day and a bad ITB) and it was quite the mental challenge!   I guess I would consider it a successful just to finish, but I was really hoping for more.  What to do??  IT's hasn't killed  or even quenched my passion for the sport and I am looking forward to applying all these new found lessons to next year..   Check back Thursday for a full play by play of how the day unfolded..
