I finally got off my arse and onto my bike, because I really did NOT feel like sitting on a trainer this year. It was harder than it should have been, but I haven't lost it all... if the weather keeps up, I will be back in business inside of four weeks.
And for the sake of saying so (because I know someone will ask) if the weather changes, I will sit on the trainer.
After all... there are only 97 days left until Blackfoot. Right Todd??
:))
It was good to great - I rushed back a bit because some of my bits (especially my toes and fingers) were getting uncomfortably cold, but I will dress better next time :))
Ok, back tomorrow.
Over and out my crazy friends.

The dust is collecting...
The collection of dust has been growing on my blog, and for good reason. Finished one job in one city, moved to another over the weekend, and attempted to start life here... then there was the NYC marathon, followed by a brief trip to the Mayan Riviera... and then back to a harsh cold reality in Calgary.
So... here I am. I have tonnes to catch up on in this blog, but for now, I will spare you a load of detail. Suffice it to say that I AM still alive.
2007 base training started for me this week, but that's been mixed in with a pretty intense after-hours self improvement course that I have been taking, which will end on Sunday evening. So, real training starts on Monday... at which point, normal blogging will resume.
For those that don't know, I had a chance in September to visit the Sutto Squad up in the mountains of Switzerland, specifically in Leysin. It was a trip, and there's lots of information to add in about that, but for now, you know I was there, and trained with the best. The best summary of that trip is this - I spent a week with a group of exceptional people - all great, but mostly just very dedicated to what it is that they do. Just extremely hard working. That's the secret... really!! I could name names, but that's hardly worth doing - they are a collection of the best triathletes on earth, who very kindly let me sit in on their training and even share their lanes (despite my comparatively slow swimming :) What a cool experience.
Ok... off to my evening course, then onto whatever training I can squeeze into my weekend. I am too tired already, but I will see what I can do... I can always catch up on my sleep next week ;)
Hope everyone is well!!
