Quick Updates

Going to be efficient with some updates about the last two weeks and what’s ahead:

• Nationals in Kelowna went well. Going in I wanted to be top 15 and thought with a great performance could possibly hit the top 10. Ended up 15th in what turned out to be a very competitive race.

• Last weekend I raced in the BC Time Trial Championships. Hit my goal of averaging 40 km/h in a 40 km bike time trial averaging 40.7 km/h. It was good enough for 7th place in Cat 4. Left me satisfied for hitting my goal but wanting a better overall placing
• Had planned on racing the Vancouver Tri today but didn’t as my hip has been hampering my running the past week or so. Instead, I braved the rain for a ride out to Horseshoe Bay with stops in Stanley Park on the way out and way back to cheer on Jeff, Facundo, Martina and George (doing his first tri I think).
• So instead of running I’ve managed to get in a couple extra bike rides in preparation for the Whistler Gran Fondo next weekend: a nice little bike race from Downtown Vancouver to Whistler (120 km). Haven’t done a 100 km ride since the spring so we’ll see how I hold up.
• The Gran Fondo will be the unofficial end of the summer race season. With it comes the start of the fall run season. After having to sit it out last year with my stress fracture I’m really looking forward to getting some solid running in this fall. Already got my training planned out so now I just need to make sure my hip heals in the next couple weeks so I can hit the ground running.
