new job here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move was pretty stressful.  We had about a week and a half to find a place to live, resign from our jobs, pack up, move, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;un&lt;/span&gt;-pack, and start work.  I shipped my car and they said it would take up to three weeks, it got here the day after we moved.  Andrea started her new job today, and so far it seems like she will like it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday we are off to Denver for a little family and fun.  I get to see my niece again, which I am very excited about.  I can't wait to see how much she has grown.  I'm also going to the Husker game in Boulder on Friday.  That should be great.  I'm glad to be back in NE, I never really felt 'at home' in WI. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've called an end to my cross season.  After having the opportunity to race on Saturday and Sunday in Lincoln, I decided that I just didn't have it in me to race and probably &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;DNF&lt;/span&gt; since I haven't been doing much in the way of riding for the better part of a month or so.  I'll have fun this weekend and start in earnest for spring when I get back.  I have a ton of work to do.  I mean a TON of work.  I let myself go these past few months and put on some weight that I didn't want to, but I'm ready to commit to having a good road season and an even better cross season in 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm already planning on going back to Madison for rounds 1 and 2 of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;USGP&lt;/span&gt; in September, so I need to be ready for that.  The one thing that I am not looking forward to is the lack of a cross season.  I know KC is not that far away, I grew up there after all, but in WI I could race every weekend from the end of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;September&lt;/span&gt; until the end of November without having to drive longer than about an hour, unless the race was in Green Bay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34092609-6601554018563077079?l=captainextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://captainextreme.blogspot.com/2009/11/back-in-402.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Matt N)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34092609.post-1900124547832815185</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-05T12:12:36.703-06:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>I'm moving to Omaha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34092609-1900124547832815185?l=captainextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://captainextreme.blogspot.com/2009/11/im-moving-to-omaha.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Matt N)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34092609.post-5682676423079857967</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-03T22:43:18.352-06:00</atom:updated><title>The Best KO Ever In TKO</title><description>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/kNwqXqeQylY' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/kNwqXqeQylY'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the funniest things I have ever seen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34092609-5682676423079857967?l=captainextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://captainextreme.blogspot.com/2009/11/best-ko-ever-in-tko.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Matt N)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34092609.post-5870645804757325025</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-03T16:29:41.791-06:00</atom:updated><title>Too Tough: Chris Eatough Wraps Up Storied Career | Cyclingnews.com</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/too-tough-chris-eatough-wraps-up-storied-career"&gt;Too Tough: Chris Eatough Wraps Up Storied Career | Cyclingnews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34092609-5870645804757325025?l=captainextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://captainextreme.blogspot.com/2009/11/too-tough-chris-eatough-wraps-up.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Matt N)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34092609.post-3247413950075096797</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-03T09:10:44.614-06:00</atom:updated><title>Mayhem talks about Satuday Nov. 7th.</title><description>&lt;object width="400" height="225"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7390603&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7390603&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/7390603"&gt;Mayhem Miller: "This has to be my masterpiece."&lt;/a&gt;

Specialzied S-Works...Thanks Conrad.  WAY better than my 3 year old Atmos that decided to develop a crack in the mold even though I never crashed it.  Oh well.  I also have some Specialized BG Pro MTB shoes on the way.  I hope they get here before I leave for Vegas or at least before Cyclocross season starts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heading out to Vegas for Interbike on the 21st.  Then coming back to do the first round of the USGP on the 26th and 27th.  Oh yeah my shop is hosting the sign in party for the USGP.  All the big pro's are coming as well as Vervecken(3x world 'cross champion) will be in attendance.  Pics will be posted as soon as I get back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a new team that I'm riding for.  Check out their link.  It is the HUDZ-Subaru cyclocross team out of Boulder.  Should be fun.  They have  a good thing going and are really trying to get new people into the sport.  I'm excited.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34092609-6223647338167338552?l=captainextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://captainextreme.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-helmet.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Matt N)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lhGz_X3dmvo/SqxgLQiNhMI/AAAAAAAACC8/DxHJlC46Z9Q/s72-c/6079-017_l.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
