Cue the David Bowie Music

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

December 31, 2006. Around 8 PM.
-Fiddy2 was done. I realized I had a whole year ahead of me of uncertainty.

I was exited for the changes but did not know what the future held.

December 31, 2007: Around 8 PM

- I had just accepted a job offer and hammered down the details. In one month I will be moving to Salt Lake City to begin a new career and a new life. I am excited for the changes and see no limit to my future.

That’s right. After over 3.5 years of living within a stone’s throw of our Nation’s Capitol, I will be packing my bags at the end of January and moving to The Beehive State. I have accepted a position with Ragnar Events to be a…well…I Am not quite sure what my title is. I will be working as a race director. I will be giving motivational speeches. I will be traveling to race expos. I will continue my work that I have been doing for the past few weeks wherein I will be mapping potential race course for the future.

4,500 feet up in the air I will live rather than 45 feet I am at now (depending on the hill I am living on). I have all the anxieties and pins and needles that come with leaving wonderful friends behind but know that that will remain close to me in my heart no matter where I travel.

Thus begins 2008 for me. A year of great opportunity. Come join me, won’t you?

(Check back here often as this journey unfolds.)

Godspeed Dane!

Next time I am out that way (when I qualify for the slalom) I will look you up.

Dane...finally, I know you wanted this and more than deserved it. We need more people who understand the race to be running the race and you, my friend, know more than anyone I know. Good luck. Matt.

Now I have no reason to complain if the race isn't run correctly!
