Hamilton Marathon 2010

No excuses. Not only did i not hit my target of a sub 3, i also finished with a slower time than 2009 and 2008. I keep telling myself, it's just a road race and i'm truly doing this for fun. I suppose the most frustrating realization are the different aspects I took to run the Hamilton race. To my friend Brendan Kavanaugh who finished 3 hrs 1 min and 30 secs, i feel his pain too, but i'm so very proud and happy for him. My nemesis is coming off the Red Hill Valley Express way. The quads and hamstrings were on fire and tight. They weren't suppose to be? From there reflecting back, I allowed my mind to win over my stride. So what now. We do it again. More longer runs in training and definitely focus on kilometers 30 thru to 42. In the meantime, i'm going to pull out some colouring books and doing some colouring outside the lines.

Barrie TC 2011

The next two weeks is the time for me to hand over the reigns to the new 2011 Executive for the Barrie Triathlon Club. It has been an extraordinary year. To all of you that were part of the amazing ride, I truly thank you. Our growth was simply remarkable. The Barrie TC is in the heart of Triathlon country in Ontario and we have proved our popularity by listening to our membership and doing our best to provide services where we can even though we are just a non-profit organization.
I'm proud and excited to see the individuals who are coming in to pursue the 2011 year. As Tom Wolfe would say, "they have the right stuff".

The young lad passing behind me is say, "what the fudge?"
Heather taking the photo is confused. Regardless I thought it was funny. It made me laugh. Perhaps Lloyd will laugh too.

3 Wks til Hamilton

Speed Work last night til after dark. Geez Kev? Tonight Yoga with the Mrs. ; Tomorrow Toronto for the Company.
Must say i'm liking the looks of the new Trek Speed Concept 9.9 as well as the Scott Plasma 3. Very sharp looking bikes.

21.1 K Base Borden

The inaugural Operation Hero put on by Base Borden was successful event. What most of us thought was going to be a flat road race really was more of a cross country race. I didn't know there were any hills on the grounds of Borden. I finished with a strong 1 hour 30 minutes and 10 seconds. Hoping this is exactly what type of tune up I needed for Hamilton three weeks away.
