Whoa!

Over two months on, and I'm finally back.  Here's the run-down.

1) Natsuko's green card has been delayed.  More docs to submit.  Frustrating!  I was doing okay when I thought she'd be in NYC by year end, but with this delay, everything got a lot harder.

2) I'm stoked to have re-joined my old company!  In November, I joined a new team in my previous company, which has been awesome (and the reason I've been too busy to blog).  It's great to be back :)

3) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  Had a nice Christmas with family.

4) Kona (over 2 months ago) was awesome!  Sebastian Kienle took the title for the men and Mirinda Carfrae ran down a 14:30 deficit off the bike to take the women's race.  A surprise on the men's side was Ben Hoffman of the US taking second, which is the best finish by an American in some time.  Less of a surprise, Daniela Ryf, who I shouted out before the race, came home 2nd woman after leading much of the race.  Watch out for her in years to come.

Below is a cool video of highlights from the week and race.



5) Finally, I didn't hit any of the goals I set earlier this year (READ HERE).  Not good.  But, this lack of success already drove me to sign up for a few races in 2015.  Full goals to come.
