Hey everyone,
it has been awhile since I have written on this thing, I have been busy with school and training, and I just sometimes forget. School has been going good, first year Human Kinetics is almost drawing to a close, feels good, this is my 2nd year in university, I feel super old right being 21 in a sea of 18 year olds. The only course I seem to struggle with is Biology.
Training wise, has been going great, I have had a few minor setbacks with holidays and trips, but other than that I feel like I have been improving alot. My swimming has been improving alot getting my swim down to 35s per 50m which has been feeling great. My running has been iffy lately due to the fact of the winter season and treadmill work, but I have been trying to keep myself at a certain standard, and I have been keeping my form which is good allowing me to sprint out. My biking hasnt changed even though I havent been able to get back out on the road yet, but I still feel very strong, and all I need is to get back on the road and start biking with the sunday group again.
Another issue in my life I have discovered is the fact that I have been single for quite a long time now. I think it is taken a toll on my life, in a way that at some points I feel depressed about being reminded about being single, such as this valentines day, the day that all singles dread, it made me just full out hate the day. I feel that looking for relationship is very tough in life, and you have to look for someone that would mesh with your personaility and has similar likes and dislikes. But I feel it has been very hard to find someone that meshes well with me. Also the fact that I fail at talking to girls comes into view, I hate being shy. I feel it has to happen sooner or later I guess.
Anyways that was just a little rant and blowing of steam about some personal demons, but other than that I have been good. I have to start looking to where I am going to live next year, it will be off-campus of course, and it will be with my dog cole for which I will love. I am not sure who and where I am living next year. There are plans for a 5 person house, but that will only happen if we can find one that is close to campus, and has 5 bedrooms. If not, then I am not sure where.
Well thanks for reading, and I apologize for the personal rant, but I just kinda needed to get it out.

Its been awhile
Well it has been a little bit since my last post. I have now settled back into things here at UBCO, and have gotten back in touch with some awesome training buddies and few new ones. I would just like to give a shout out to a friend that I have met named Scott Neyedli, who is a pro ironman triathlete, and came 6th in Ironman Canada. Unfortunatly did not have the best result in Kona, but there is always next year and he is am extremely strong and determined individual. I would like to thank him for pushing me on the bike even though I wasn't able to stay with him most of the time, he is deff a very strong biker.
Getting back into biking the mountains, my form has never been better, I have led the hill climbs and gotten in the with the hill breakaway groups, as well as the bunch sprints. I am currently running intensely also, keeping a good 19min 6k, which is a massive improvement, I just need to keep that coming off the bike. I have my sights on nationals this year, and with now the good support of my new sponsor Kelowna Cycle, things can really look up, as well as worlds qualifications.
I just need a more solid performance next year and come in top 5 in all my races is my goal for the 2011 season, and I think it is a possibility, I am deff getting stronger in all sections of this sport. I just need to work some more on my swimming, and I think coming back in the spring to rejoin my old coach will certainly help me with my open water efforts.
This year Kona did not go as I had hoped, and Crowie did not take the crown, I am very shocked and kinda upset, but he made a solid go at it, and he is still my overall favorite triathlete and pretty much my idol. Macca certainly gave it a solid go also, and just came out in a better position then Crowie off the bike. I knew Andreas would be in the mix again this year, cause he is a solid athlete, and my second favorite Lieto did not do as well as I had hoped either. He is an awesome biker and I hope one day I will be able to keep up with him.
I have switched over to Human Kinetics, and at the moment I am loving it, it is made perfectly for me, and I love the whole learning about the body and how it functions and what it needs to perform at its top level. I love all my profs they are amazing people, and they are not at all hard to talk to.
I have also been talking to another professional triathlete Ryan Power, who like me did not start off with a strong swimming background, I admire him greatly, and he is a excellent athlete, and I hope next year I can be in his zip code. Also I have been talking to R.J. Ross who has given me awesome advice for my future in this sport, and to take things slow and not turn it into a career to quickly or else one tends to start to hate the sport. I also miss hanging out with the add activity group, and spending some quality training time with them. I have Dustin, Kirsten, Neil, and Scott in the water to deff push me to my limits, as well as Dustin and Neil to push me on the bike. P.S. Neil this spring I will beat you on the bike, cause now I have a strategy going, and when I get my bike sponsor I will be able to ride lol. I also have Dustin to deff push me on the run, the kid is a rising star (just like me), but he is deff an awesome training partner and I cannot wait to get back to the training grounds of lakeside with him.
That is me so far.

well Back at school/off season
Well I am back at school now at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna British Columbia, and this year I am in Human Kinetics, which means I have to put a lot more effort into my school and study habits. I am aiming for a high average this year so I am gunna study my butt off and hopefully see some positive results.
I am also back into off season training (well I never really quit training). I picked up another sponsor in Kelowna Cycle here, and I have a meeting with them to see what they willing to offer me, and the terms of the agreement. I am excited to be apart of their team.
I got a good base going with swimming though, and I am feeling confident that my swimming will improve for next year all I need to do is put in some more positive training and work on my technique, stroke power, and my kicking, also my running has gotten a lot better as well, which is another positive.
I got a job at campus rec here on campus to ref rugby games on sunday making 12 bucks an hour which isn't bad, I am also picking up shifts here and there in order to make money for groceries and beer which both are needed.
I am also living in quad this year with three other kids, so far it has been pretty good and we are all able to get along, we have had a few snags with certain individuals, but that is to be expected and hopefully as the year progresses it will soon to get better. I am cycling with the sunday ride, and I am happy with all the efforts I have been putting in, being able to break away on the climbs as well as keep up with the stronger cyclists during the sprint. I have also been riding with Scott Neyedli who came 6th overall in Ironman Canada and is pro, he is quite the character as well as a beast on the bike, I have been able to keep up with him on the climbs which I feel strong, but when he goes into his areo position on the straight aways he is always taking off.
Well bye for now, and It seems that no one reads this, but I guess they will when my name is heard a lot more in the triathlon world, which I hope it will soon be.

Latest Update from a Long delay
Hello everyone who is actually reading this.
I Have completed my final triathlon of the season at Toronto Island. It went not as well as I had hoped for, or as well as I have trained for. The water was very rough, pretty big waves and swells out on lake Ontario. This made the swim very difficult for me, and did not allow me to show off my improvement that I have made in the swim, I just pushed through it as best as I could, trying to avoid everyone stopping infront of me, and everyone bunching up around me, also because of the waves I could not see any of the buoys which was not very good and made it an overall struggle. I felt that was one of my worst swims of the season.
But once I got on the bike i just put my head down and pushed it as hard as I could for 30km, doing the lapped course as best as I could. While trying to avoid the bunching up of the other athletes. I pushed myself to an average speed of 39km/hr which was pretty amazing, and the bike course was pretty good, until the mishap at the end of the course when I got out of shoes a little too early.
The run was tough and course itself was not a favorite. You run in a combo of path, grass, sand, and gravel. It was pretty brutal course, and it felt that you could not get your speed up which I did not like, cause I have been also working on my awesome run speed with some brutal hill repeats, and 400m track sprint repeats. fastest 400m so far is 1min flat.
The course itself was decent, and my position was decent, but I must get stronger and faster and it is my goal for the off-season, with some masters swim, and some track sessions, and possibly getting a coach out there.
It is also my last day here in Ontario and I am heading back out to Kelowna British Columbia tomorrow morning, last night and this morning was my final group training sessions with the add activity crew. All of them are amazing individuals and they all bring their own talents and personality to the training aspect of this sport. I will miss the sessions that we have together, and the whole group training aspect. I like how they push me to be my best, and hopefully I was able to push them also. Overall I really enjoyed the team and hopefully if I am not living in Calgary I will be back, and I will be faster, for sure. Leigh-ann is an amazing coach, and if I do come back, I am hoping to make her proud and bring her to nationals with me and be able to get some good results under the name.
I will miss being home and with the family, but I must buckle down this year and balance some good productive training, with some good studying for Hkin, I have a deal to get an 80%, and I will go to Italy to race which will be amazing, either that or get some race wheels I haven't decided yet what I want lol.
Anyways ciao for now, until next time.

Bracebridge
Well I raced in Bracebridge today, just doing the sprint triathlon using it for a good brick session for Toronto Island next weekend. I did pretty good for myself today being a sprint in all, had one of the fastest swim of my life which was great. The bike can be improved and I can do alot better on it. For my run I was focusing more so on my form, which has improved and it allows me to run more efficiently, I felt it less also on the run, but could have pushed it more, I guess when Toronto Island happens I have to push the entire way.
I felt good about the race overall, came in 8th overall and 3rd in my age group. I have to get faster in all three disciplines if I want to make a run for going for provincials and nationals, next year.
This means it will be a fall/winter/spring of intense masters swim, and biking with the Kelowna semi-pro team. As well as joining a track team or a running group focusing on speed work.
I will get faster over time, all I have to do is put in the time and effort. I am stepping in the right direction with my moving up in the overall standings which is good. I am thinking though that I may just go pro for myself and being on the Canada team may not be for me, I could prob increase my overall performance by just going pro, and ripping up the courses and making some money along the way, with picking up a few sponsors.
anyways thanks for reading.

Bala Falls weekend
This weekend was my race in Bala Falls. It was a tough course, extremely hilly both on the bike and the run. We got to the Bala Bay Inn where me and my family stayed for the Saturday night. I biked over the course the night before to check it out and see what surprises they could throw at us. It was crazy hilly that night and I had a feeling that I would suffer, even though hills are my specialty after spending a year in Kelowna riding those hills repeatedly, and leading the peloton on the Sunday rides.
The night before recon was good, I saw where the hills crest and where the bigger hills were, and where to push the hardest and where to relax. I made up a plan in my mind on what I was going to do in terms of hydration and re-fueling on the bike. I headed back to the Hotel and met some of my competition who were staying there also, this was going to be a very tough race I thought. Well the only thing I could do at that moment was to get in some carbs before the race, and hopefully have the best outcome. I had some awesome pasta, which was so good. I even had some ice cream desert for some sugars. We went for a walk around the area and check out the town which wasn't really much, but it was a nice place to visit. That night was brutal, from the noisy air conditioner, the pre-race nerves, and the bachelor party up-stairs didn't really get that much sleep.
That morning we were promised a breakfast at around 6:15, so I was up at 5:30am to kinda get myself ready for the race and make sure I have everything and my bike is ready. Went downstairs and got some breakfast which was the same thing I eat before a Saturday brick session, part Special K lol. The race started at 8:30am with my wave being the first to go, we got there around 6:45am to set some things up and get my spot ready. I got everything ready and met up with my friend Mike Faul who will be doing his first ever race, picking a very hard course to make his debut on. I also met a guy named Robbie Chapman, who we found out was 16, and looked 23, he was rocking cervelo P3C, and was sponsored by a few places very intimidating. Him and I was having a very intense conversation about how the really skinny athletes are able to muster up so much power and be able to pawn everyone, such as Andy Schleck for example.
Well after the conversation it was time to get into the zone for the race and block out the others, I got my wetsuit on, luckily it was a wetsuit swim being under 78 for the water, the age-group and under 76 for elite, the water was a nice 75. I have to practice more without a wetsuit swim, I have a feeling it will come up eventually in my triathlon career. Anyways I went out for a pre-race swim just to get the muscles warmed up, Mike went out and started swimming and my deepest fear was realized, he is a faster swimmer then me.
The race started with a off the beach run into the water, I started beside Mike in hope of drafting him during the race, my coach just told me to draft the fastest person there, and I couldn't find Ryan Power. I was in the mix of guys and got kicked in the face a few times surprisingly by Mike, but then after awhile I settled into a good pace, and was pushing myself harder and harder throughout the swim, keeping it gradually increasing. I got out of the water with a few guys and surprisingly I could see the race-leaders just ahead of me so I was really close. I ran to my bike and saw Mike there so I was really surprised I came out and met him this early in the race. I got my wetsuit down to my ankles and thing wasn't coming off which was not good for my transition time. I got on the bike and took in some fluids, Mike was right behind on the first hill, but I switched into high gear and took off trying to branch up to the race leaders. I was pushing it on the entire bike ride, taking in fluids everytime I crested a hill. I managed to come really close to the race leaders before the second transition, I ended up blowing away both Mike and Dustin my teammate. It was a solid bike, and I my legs seemed pretty fresh throughout the ride. I had a time off the bike that was 8th which was pretty fast for me being on the hills, but like I said hills are my specialty.
During the run I was paying for my intense bike a bit, and the fact that it was also a very hilly and difficult run. I only ended up passing one other person on the run, but it was a solid pass, and I held my position for the entire run, it wasn't a run time that I had wanted but it will improve. I came to the final kilometer and started pushing it until the end, knowing I had someone behind me and did not want to be caught. I crossed the line and just my legs just died, I left everything on the course which was the goal I was going for.
I then waited at the finish line waiting for my teammate Dustin, and my friend Mike, who both finished strong. My overall performance ended with the fasted swim I have ever done in my life with a time of 1:45 per 100m which was amazing for me. My bike time also increased which was good, this shows I am improving, but my run can still be worked on.
My overall time was 1:38:40 which was a good time for me, I came 11th overall and 1st in my age group making this my first win in my age-group.
Overall this was a good race for me, I am racing Bracebridge on August 7th, and I think cause it's a sprint I will use it as a training session, getting me ready for my final race Toronto Island. I am feeling very happy with my results, but I have to get faster in all three disciplines in order to get myself ready for ITU races and nationals and worlds. That is my future goal, and to become pro one day, but after school. I was dreaming about representing Canada in the Olympics, and I will try my best to get into that, but since this country has a lot of requirements that I may never be able to meet, so I might just move to Italy for a bit and race for them since my mom has citizenship. That will be a few years from now though.

race week
Well this is race week, on friday I am heading up to Barrie to spend the night with my grandmother, and then me my grandmother and my parents are heading up to Bala the next day in order to arrive there and rest up before the big race.
This race will be the first one since joining the Add Activity triathlon team, which is a fantastic team and they are all extremely supportive and helpful. They will help you with anything and are some the nicest and most energetic group I have met. I am enjoying my time with them and will miss them and the workout sessions when I leave at the end of August.
This race in Bala will be hopefully my breakthrough for a podium position, and this will be a great race for me, I have been training extra hard putting long sessions in brick training, and my swim workouts, I am hoping that I have not been slacking on the bike. I have been getting faster though I have noticed, and now with the help of an UWO swim team coach I will hopefully get even faster.
I am extremely nervous of this race, because I feel like I have a lot of pressure on me to do well, I dislike it very much, but being nervous never hurt anyone. Until I get to the point where I start self-doubting myself, which enables me to do my best, but I have the support of my team and friends, and my parents and family so I can do this and I will do this.
I am a force to be reckon with, and from the words of many others pain is only temporary but pride lasts forever.

They will help you with anything and are some the nicest and most energetic group I have met. I am enjoying my time with them and will miss them and the workout sessions when I leave at the end of August.
This race in Bala will be hopefully my breakthrough for a podium position, and this will be a great race for me, I have been training extra hard putting long sessions in brick training, and my swim workouts, I am hoping that I have not been slacking on the bike. I have been getting faster though I have noticed, and now with the help of an UWO swim team coach I will hopefully get even faster.
I am extremely nervous of this race, because I feel like I have a lot of pressure on me to do well, I dislike it very much, but being nervous never hurt anyone. Until I get to the point where I start self-doubting myself, which enables me to do my best, but I have the support of my team and friends, and my parents and family so I can do this and I will do this.
