I have wrote anything on my blog for a while. Okay, here it goes. Our baby is doing awesome. She is sleeping through the night and is doing all sorts of cute things. I'm getting back into training for triathlon. This has been hard with a new baby, but my wife supports me, and is helping me find time to keep training. She is awesome. My foot is almost healed and I got orthotics and I'm about to start running again. Its been 3 months. I really miss running. My key races will be Honu half ironman (in Kona), Lake Stevens 70.3 in July, and Ironman Canada. My swimming is strong, my biking is stronger than last year (I've added about 20 watts to my average on normal trianing rides), but my running sucks. Hopefully it will come around. I still have a lot of time. I've been doing a lot of photography and video. Sharing this stuff across the internet sucks. Most of the ways to share are disconnected from how I manage this information on my computer. Someone should ...

She was actually born on her due date, which I was told only occurs about 5% of the time. She was born at 12:35PM. Tonja's water broke at 6pm the night before, so she had about a 19 hour labor. When we got to the hospital, she pretty much started having harder and harder contractions. The started getting quite painful about 10pm and then she went into the bath tub for some relief. After that, she started experiencing severe back labor and things got very serious. He pain rating quickly went from a 3 out of 10 to a 6, then a 7, and then an 8. She felt like someone was breaking her back. She was only 2.5 CM dialated and couldn't take the pain anymore so she asked for an epidural. She felt like she gave up and was a wimp, but I told her who cares. Once the epidural started flowing, she was a new person again. He cherry attitude returned and we actually rested from about midnight to about 5am. After the epidural, she quickly went to 7CM and by 5am she was at the magic 10CM mark and ...
