It's true...I have not fallen off the face of the earth....life just has gone on at an incredible pace and I wasn't sure that what was happening was "blog worthy" but it seems that one or two people out there still check in to see if I have updated this site and I feel bad that I have been disappointing them...so here we go..Take 76...
Arizona was great again this year...MD,SV and I had an intense training trip...which started off with missing our connecting flight, 2nd year in a row(we decided to drive in from Phoenix instead of waiting 7 hours for the next flight)...the week was full of incredible biking and outdoor swimming...a little bit of running (SV was coming off a metatarsal fracture and I was fighting a chest infection so running was put on the back of the priority list). We met some great junior athletes from Ontario, we have such great young talent emerging from this area in the sport of triathlon...check out the following link for one young man that inspired MD, SV and I while we were down there (http://www.windsorstar.com/sports/Ironman+athlete+fights+back+from+drug+filled+abyss/4935511/story.html )
We did a great deal of biking while we were in Tucson and I even bumped into an old friend from London while we were out shopping for gear!
It was great to come back with a great base, but SV and I decided to skip the Sporting Life 10km this year...deciding to enjoy the night life of TO with the 55,000 other people that were there to celebrate the first UFC fight in Ontario...maybe not the best way to end a training camp, but SV and I tend to roll a little differently than most triathletes.
Since then we have been busy with life...triathlon season has started and I am coming back from a bit of an injury, nothing serious just a little hip pain...but a visit with my favourite Dr...Dr. Peggy Malone http://drpeggymalone.com/ and I am on the road to recovery and actually running again after 3 weeks of missing it.... I have been enjoying swimming in the lakes up here and riding my bike as much as possible...I only have a couple of races on the calendar this year but I am enjoying the weekly bike time trial series that we have been attending...it is a great group of people, a killer route and something to love/hate each week!
Here are some pics of the last few months so you can see what I/we have been up to!
