Married & headed for Hawaii!

Well, we're now married! The wedding was a great time and we couldn't have done it without the help of our family - thank you all for holding us together and helping to make it such a wonderful time. We were up late last night packing for Hawaii and in about 50 minutes we'll be heading out to the airport for the honeymoon.

The family made some great signs for us to show us their support even when they won't be able to make the Hawaii 70.3. THANKS guys - ha, they are great!

Good luck to Joey, Courtney and Lesley in Tri Ridgefield coming up next weekend. We'll be thinking of you all on Saturday night and Sunday (even though you're likely to be done by the time we wake up) and wishing you an awesome race. Can't wait to see how you all do - ROCK IT!

Sorry for the rushed posting but we wanted to get something up before we left. Aloha!

Wedding & Hawaii

HI EVERYONE! (Liz here)

SO sorry we’ve been on blogging hiatus! Life has been busy.

We’ve been training hard, no lack of effort there. The past couple weekends have been tough though since we’ve been traveling and with weekends reserved for long bike rides, we haven’t been able to put in the mileage we should have – but we do what we can. In fact, this past weekend I found myself in Ridgefield for my sister’s graduation. Had an early wake up call at 5am to drive to Fairfield for a 6hr ride with my brother, only to find out he never woke up that morning for his drive from NJ - awesome.

I headed back to Ridgefield to ride solo for 3hrs. I didn’t have a computer hooked up on the Cervelo yet, so I had no idea what my pace was, but according to mapmyride, I did 58.13 miles which gives me a 19mph pace – holy cow. Not sure if that is accurate but I hope it is!

Justin and I are getting hitched this Saturday!!! Word from the wise: do not plan a wedding and an Ironman within the same year, or at least not within 2 months of each other, cause it has made our lives hectic. Pics below have been our living conditions the past month… looks like fun, right? Lots of wedding boxes, lots of bikes, lots of everything…

We’re headed to Hawaii for our honeymoon and racing the Hawaii 70.3 on May 30^th. We’re psyched.

AND, last note for today (promise), this season I am being sponsored by Bear Naked and am really excited about it. I love their products and looking forward to supporting them through my racing. More on this to come… : ) Unfortunately, all the gear is too big so I’m sending them back to get exchanged which means I won’t be rockin the Bear Naked goodness in Hawaii : (
