The past few weeks have been crazy. Like a five year old, thats eaten a lot of candy during Christmas crazy. If Dave passing wasn't bad enough, the next week through a hurricane our way. That wasn't so bad, as the wind and rain was at night. But once I woke up we had no power. That wasn't so bad, it was daytime, and I spent the day outside getting bit by fireants, and occasionally picking up limbs from my yard. Then it started getting rough. While we had the generator hooked up to the fridge, at night we would hook it up for a movie to watch. My family had my adventure racing stuff to use, headlamps, lanterns, and stuff to make it through nights beter. But then a curfew was in effect so I sat inside doing nothing besides watching movies.
So we finally get power, a week ago, emails, forums, and learning how to type again, it was all coming back to me. Then I was reminded about Dave. His memorial was Saturday. It was great. It had his bike, packs, shoes, clothes, and even the helmet he was wearing when he fell. That was tough.
I showed a little early, and saw tons of folks from the biking community, and adventure race community. The doctors and family I didn't know, but could tell he impacted there life pretty well. I sat next to Presley, and she was entertained by a picture book of Dave. She would point out pictures saying "theres you, and Dave!" That was hard.
Then evenone talked and spoke about Dave, Shaun and Patti hit it on the head, and Tommy and Dr Katz spoke of times I've never knew Dave experienced. I'm glad I met Dave, hung out with Dave, learned from Dave, and was able to do everything with Dave. I know a lot of people weren't that lucky.
This past week was full of getting back to work schedule, while picking up a 5 o'clock spin class to boot. I even got to do yetticross after not riding for a week and a half. The course was awesome, and I was glad I was bored to tears in the hurricane aftereffects to go for a run here or there. There was effectivly 3 spots where you had to get off and run. Which is where I attacked to get my gap.
I need to get to work now, and should post again sooner than last time.
