Barrie Examiner

Two of my athletes are off to a 70.3 race in Hawaii....ahhh. Sounds great! I am expecting my boy Kevin to come home with a qualification for the 70.3 championships. But before they leave, we were interviewed by the local paper, the Barrie Examiner. Hopefully, yours truly will have a mention. No picture yet, that may come for the follow up article. So look for it!

Inspiration

"'I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in a maze of mediocrity. I won't give up shut up, let up, or slow up'

'In preparing elite training programs we will not underestimate the adaptive abilities of the human body'"

Paperwork!

Phew! The Barrie TC sanctioning paperwork is off the OAT. It took a long time to get it together but with the help of a few key people, we got our our routes done. In about 3 weeks we will be ready to kick butt against the other clubs in Ontario. We are growing strong in our membership numbers and I am really excited about what is to come.
Thanks Ted, Gary, Jamie and all the extra work from Theo! Good job!

Ready for 2010

So I've been home for awhile now and feel ready to tackle 2010. I have signed a couple new athletes and a few returning. Still waiting for a couple to finish their goals and race plan ideas. Should be a good year. Also, planning some Mega Training Days......usually hill training at Blue Mountain! Yuck!
As for my goals.......a new body. Done the old fashioned way, just so you know ;)
Maybe a few long races this year. Still planning...........

Off to Florida

I am off to Florida for just over 2 weeks. I most likely will not be blogging during my vacation. So, have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year! I hope Santa brings all the tri gear on your list.

Big News x 2

Some exciting news!
1. The Kempenfelt Tri club is no longer! We are now the Barrie TC. Should be really awesome!
2. I will have a special blogger - my #1 athlete Kevin. He will be blogging his journey to the 70.3 World Championships.

So, keep this blog bookmarked to enjoy Kevins pain and triumphs.

Motivation

I need motivation. I need it now. Between having a broken toe (which is almost healed), a sick kid, and a busy schedule......I don't have anything left.
I decided to get my H1N1 flu shot since I am in the high risk group. The swime flu can be bad news for asthma sufferers so I did it. My arm is soooo sore! The Dr. told me it would be but WOW! I feel good, so no other side effects. Lets hope when the schedule winds down the mojo will ramp up again! Cross your fngers!!!!
