What have I been doing since the Race?
 
Good Question.
 
Here’s the answer through some pics!
 
 
*I returned home on November 21st into LAX. And spent two weeks at a friend of my teammate Jen Fodor in Los Angeles resting, debriefing myself and getting used to being back in the States. My parents also flew out to welcome me home. And I was able to meet up with fellow racers Steve Wright and Kim Daniels.

Caught a Lakers game with Steve. And yes we snuck down to those seats!
 
 
 *My next three weeks were spent back at my home in the Illinois-Quad Cities. I spent a lot of time resting, re-reading journals and blogs and trying to re-collect my thoughts on a year of the Race. I also was able to spend time with family, including visiting my 8 month pregnant Sister over in Iowa. It was hard being home but it was good to rest and even better to see family!
