Bala Falls Sprint

Bala Falls Sprint 2013

After a disastrous Gravenhurst Race, taking third in my age category of 50-55 was a sign that i'm not dead yet. Knocking off two minutes from my 2011 Bala time ; i finished with a overall time of 1:44:32. Swim 15.33, Bike 51.46 (34.7kph avg.), Run 34.39 (4.30/pace/km). I will need to knock off three more minute to take first. Looking back at Guelph Olympic Race which was also very satisfactory for me, i noticed when i get to bed early the night before, eat a good size breakfast the morning of, I have energy ; feel great ; and I can I rock it.

Tandem Sky dive

July 18th 2013 i jumped from 10,000 feet, or as i accidentally told someone yesterday in my shopping Centre circles 10,000 square feet. Yes it drew a laugh. On my fiftieth birthday my wife surprised me with this magical gift. To the guys at Toronto Sky Dive, I'd like to thank you again. 100 % joy. A rush that surpassed my expectations far and beyond. What frightens me is you get the itch. I hear myself saying "i could get into this." The best part is actually jumping out the "one seater" plane. The experience takes your breath away momentarily and even though you haven't really done anything your heart beat races. It was pure freedom other than this guy Aussie Dave strapped to my back closer than most men would like to omit.
