Season over!!!

Well, the season is finally over. It was a tough one for sure, it started out very promising in the Winter and Spring with some great running results that made me very stoked to see what could happen throughout the summer. Unfortunately, the injury bug hit me with a partially torn quad(twice), and a broken wrist which was the result of an unlucky cycling accident. But I still had a great year, what with marrying my beautiful wife, and starting the house hunt, it seems like things are looking up!!! Hopefully everything will be settled by the turn of the year and then I can settle back into some solid training patterns. Looks like i'm going to give Ironman a miss next year, and instead focus on finding some speed in some olympic and half iron races. Tentative schedule is Mill Bay 10k in Jan, maybe the Mount Washington snow shoe race Jan or Feb?(something new and fun), Bazan Bay 5k in March, TC 10k in April if i'm here, could be doing Italy for our delayed honeymoon, UBC or Shawnigan Olympic distance in May, New Balance half Iron or Boise 70.3 in June, either Vancouver half or Desert half in July, Lake Stevens 70.3 or Calgary 70.3 in August, and Sooke olympic in August time permitting. Then depending on how the season goes, might try and squeeze in a few more tris like the Sooke spring sprint, Juan de Fuca duathlon, and hopefully Clearwater if I can get a spot which I will take. But now, time to rest and relax, will start up with some easy training starting this week and probably ease back into it fully by October. Hope to see you out and about in Vic.

Cheers,
Mike
