Craig Lewis: File Under Pain » Blog Archive

Another nightmare of a trip finally brought me home to Greenville this past weekend. Delayed, and even canceled flights were again the cause. The “storm of the decade” was making its way up the east coast as I was trying to get from Philadelphia to Greenville. My wife, Courtney, had to drive late in the night, with snow and ice on the roads, to pick me up in Charlotte, NC. In total, I spent almost six days of traveling just to be in Lanzarote for six days! I am glad we were able to get so many meetings out of the way as it probably wouldn’t have been worth it otherwise.

Now it is time to once again re-adjust to a new time zone and finish up all of my holiday shopping. It’s hard to believe Christmas is this week, but it sure does feel like it. Returning to the cold weather was a shock and it is strange to see snow by the roadsides and ice in the trees. Training is full on for the 2010 season now. It was a very quick switch from easing into things to being in the thick of it. In fact, the week spent in Lanzarote, I had around forty hours of exercise!

The goal for the next few weeks is to just enjoy as much time with my family and friends as possible. Before I know it, I will be back in Mallorca, Spain, for our next training camp and then the racing season will have officially begun.
