March Update

It has been a while since I last wrote a post. Blogging doesn’t really take-up much time, the problem seems to be that it requires effort to make it part of a weekly rhythm.

It has been a fairly eventful March.

Three weeks ago I resigned from my job. It was with somewhat of a heavy heart that I submitted my written notice of resignation, but also a relief to make it public. There were several reasons for it, but ultimately, what triggered the decision was Majken’s wish to return to Denmark to explore her business options. It had nothing to do with our lifestyle in Brisbane which we have come to enjoy very much. At this stage I do not have a job lined-up in Denmark and do not actively plan on pursuing possibilities - I will do so when we are back. We arrive in Denmark end of June.

Majken did her first Triathlon at Bribie. Incredibly she managed to finish first in her age group. She has been training hard for the event, so it was only fitting that she did well. We are now the proud owners of little blue cup which symbolizes her victory.

Last weekend we spent at Mooloolaba on the Sunshine cost. Mooloolaba was the host of a three day action packed sports festival. Friday evening there was a 5km twilight run, Saturday an ocean swim and a bicycle Criterion and on Sunday it all culminated with an Olympic Distance Triathlon (1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride, 10 km run) which was also an ITU event. I participated in the triathlon. My time was 2 hours 18 minutes which I am pretty happy with. The good thing about participating in an official distance event is that I now have a benchmark for the future.

Thursday this week the children’s grandmother and her partner arrived in Brisbane. They plan on staying a few months. Both Tobias and Christoffer were quick to accept their presence.

During the next couple of months we plan to do a little sightseeing and obviously need to take care of all the logistics related to an international relocation.
