Greetings from the Mile High city,

What a wonderful week it has been yet again. Am really enjoying my time here in CO and continue my expedition within and across the state(s). Have been getting to know some of my downtown colleagues which has been fun, since I only get to see them once a week. They are all pretty easy going and relaxed, and extremely intelligent/talented in what they do (ie video production, web design, programming, marketing etc). We all went to this awesome Cuban bar called "Samba Room" for some happy hour drinks. Tried a "mojito" which is rather refreshing especially during the stifling heat we have been experiencing for the past few weeks.

Over the weekend, I went to one of the best "free" concerts I've been to so far - KC and the Sunshing Band at Copper Mountain. It was fantastic! I managed to stand up close to the stage and "shook my bootie" to the live music. It was a jammed pack crowd ranging from teens right up to the oldies that probably knew every single word (mind you I'm embarassed to say I knew a lot of the words to the songs)!!! I can't wait to see the tribute band to ABBA in a few weeks time!

My triathlon race is in 5 weeks time and have begun increasing the intensity of my training. I'm still quite nervous of the open water swim, but will expand the pool sessions during the next few days/week9s) leading up to the race. I feel mentally and physically strong at the moment, but I really don't want to "overtrain" my body as it's still acclimatizing to the altitude.
