Otters are trouble makers

So no news is bad news i'm afraid. I had a very bad cycling accident in May(could have been worse) where I hit an otter that had run out into the road while I was going 45+ kmph and ended up breaking my wrist... Pretty unbelievable I know, but what can you do, roll with the punches I say, not much else!!! So the only good news out of this is that the cast has just come off, and it is just in time for my wedding which is this coming Saturday July 10th(Very excited)!!! As far as racing goes, I raced the Oak Bay half Mary in May, just before the accident and had an average result, 1:36:xx. I was not happy or dissapointed in the time, more frustrated that I couldn't push harder in the last 3-4 km's. As far as training has gone, i'll be the first to hold up my hand and say it's been horrendous since the accident. The crash and resulting injury just left me questioning what I could take out of this year as far as racing and training went. Unfortunately I still don't really know where I stand this year, and with IMC coming up, there are certainly more question marks for me than answers. At the start of the year my goal was to build a great base, then add on to that with some speed through the summer months, with the goal of being ready to give a run at a Kona qualifying spot at IMC. As it stands right now, my best bet is going to be to push for a PB(sub 10:57:41) and I think I have set a new goal for m,yself which will be to run sub 3:45 on the run. A tough goal for sure, but something that I feel quite motivated to do. Sometimes by breaking things down to simple tasks one can achieve more than one expects!!! Anyhow, my next couple weeks will be spent enjoying getting married to my soul mate, and than come mid July my main focus will be building up my run strenght and cycling consistently to give myself the best shot I can at that run target. It's going to be an interesting and painful 2 months, with a test at the Sooke 1/2 iron on August the 8th to see where I stand. Stay tuned for more...
