Lagging

It's a little after 5am Utah time and I've been up since 2am.  My luggage didn't make my connecting flight so they delivered it to the house at 3am, how kind of them.  I'm here in the States for just a couple of days before going back to Shanghai.  Then I'll be back again two weeks later.  With Jen and Will here I don't like to stay away for more than two or so weeks at a time.  Thankfully my job has been accomodating to let me come back and forth until we have the baby and we can all go back home. 

I'm hoping that Will will wake up soon. I got in late last night so he was already asleep. I want to go wake him up to play but I'm pretty sure Jen would kill me if I did. This week she signed him up for gymnastics classes. It's a class for kids 19-30 months old so he just made the cut off. Apparently he totally loves it and is always the one to volunteer to try the new moves. We will have to get some pictures posted soon. He's had two classes this week with another one on Saturday. Jen got a 10 class package and it seems like it is a hit with Will.

This is a picture from my bike race last Saturday in Shanghai. I ride on team Slice now which is made up of a group of expats from the US, Australia, France, and Belgium.  We've competed in two races now and have done well enough that we are now getting sponsored! Sponsors = free gear = happy me.  We are now sponsored by Oakley sunglasses, Giro helmets, Champion Systems uniforms, Lake shoes and NordicTrack :).  The uniform attached is cool but the new ones on the way are REALLY cool.  Our team captian used to work for Nike and for Trek and used to lead tour groups to ride at the Tour de France.  He used to attend the training camps and ride with Lance Armstrong (who is still the greatest rider whether he doped or not).  Our sponsors are all coming because of his awesome connections but I still would like to think it's because I ride a bike similar to the way Lance does :).  I love having a team to train with again and races to look forward to.  About half of our team also does triathlons.  We were all singed up for the China Ironman at the end of this month.  But of course 'China' had to happen and the race was cancelled at the last minute.  Most of the guys now will opt for the Ironman in Jeju, Korea on July 3rd but I'll be in Utah at that time.

Will should be up soon!  Time to go play.
