I know, it’s a been a while. With school wrapping up and getting back to hard training, blogging has taken a bit of a backseat. So quickly, Canada Day Challenge is tomorrow. 2km swim race at Sasamat Lake. Was hoping to do the Yaletown Grand Prix in the afternoon too but it looks like they …

Race Report – Cranbrook (Provincials)
Let it first be said that Cranbrook is a long ways from Vancouver. It’s one thing to drive to Penticton or Kelowna in the middle of BC and quite another to go all the way across the province to Cranbrook. On the plus side though, it was nice to be reminded that the sun does …

Is This Cheating?
Now I’m not usually one to fall into the trap of having to have the newest, most advanced gear around. I spent 5 years working around the golf industry which is probably the worst (yes, even worse than triathlon) when it comes to everyone thinking thinking this years model (whether it be a driver or …
