Time Zone Craziness

Posted by mandy on February 22nd, 2009

So I'm in Spain (Today was another great day - 4 hour ride and a transition run in the sunshine) - have been for the past 19 days. Right now it is quarter past 6 (PM). Exactly 6 hours ahead of Connecticut time back home. All was well for the past few weeks - getting in phone calls and work without issue.

"Why am I talking about time differences now?", you might ask - good question. You see, I'm used to talking to my Sam-boy a fair amount. Yup, miss independent has found herself head-over-heels and well, downright in need of a little time w/ her man each day. He politely types back sweet responses to my inane babbling about rides and towns and types of fruit he's never seen. On Friday he headed West (young man) for a ski vacation (and I guess technically a visit to his younger brother - sorry Jer, but the skiing is pretty darn good and he loooooves snow). This trip to Wyoming now means he's an additional 3 hours behind - totally 9!

As I was about to get on bikes this AM, I counted backwards to see what time it was for the Dodger. Turns out it wasn't even dinner time in Wyoming!! Can't be upset for not chatting. He's been happy for me training here for three weeks, I'm just as (if not more) excited for him to be "shredding" (not sure I'm cool enough to use that term) it out West. Today was beautiful for me and hopefully it will be the same in Jackson Hole.

When I get home on Thursday, I'll be falling back in time, my boy will be leaping forward and I know we'll meet up just right, as always.
