Well after some thought, i have decided to not go on vacation with my Family to Panama (and cruise to Colombia, my dad's native country). Reason being, if i miss 10 days of school, i will most likely fail and be put on probation considering my grades aren't spectacular right now. So i think i will be staying at Marc's house for that time. (Marc's going to have like 10 people in his house! including jarrod, tim, and pam!) lol.
I just finished up a long run today 11 miles. It was great, prob best long run i've done. Started at like 7:30 pace and got down to 6:28 through the hilly part, so i was happy.
Now its off to a 1.5 hr easy spin with Jarrod and Jordan, and then easy 2.5k swim in the PM.
Peace!

Wildman Sprint Triathlon
I had a good race today at the Wildman Sprint Triathlon in Moss Park. I've done the course before so it was not new to me. I got to use a wetsuit for the first time today, and man does it help you go ALOT faster! I had a solid swim and a bad T1 considering its the first race of the season, and then had an O.K. bike not really happy, although my back tightened up as usual. The run solid, b/c i felt i had a good turnover going and that it was consistent which is good. I beat my previous time on the run course by 47 seconds which is good. So its a good way to start off the 2009 triathlon season!

First off my shin splint is better! I'm back to running and excited to start run training again!!
My swimming is going well, after another week or so of a good swim block i will attempt the junior benchmark swim test again and see if I can go for the "world class" times.
The other reason i'm lucky is Jarrod Shoemaker and Jordan Bryden are down here in my own town, and i get to train with them! Its really exciting to learn from the best! Their great people and great athletes and i'm blessed to have the opportunity to do some great training with them!
I've been a little sick the past couple of days but its starting to fade so i'm happy about that. Also my spring break for school just started so i get to train, sleep, and eat 24/7 now for a week. (and do an english essay).
Today we did a 2.5 hr ride with some intervals and hill repeats and then i did a 3 mile brick after. It was my first brick in a long time, and it felt great! I feel so much better running off the bike than i do just running. I have the Wildman sprint triathlon in a couple weeks and i'm really excited to use a wetsuit for the first time! I can't wait to race a triathlon again, it's been too long!!
