Last week I was able to head home to Kingston for a an extended long weekend. Highlights included some quality time with the over 70 population during rec swim, re-visiting some of Kingston's great bike routes and trails, biking with my MOM (and being quite impressed!), getting destroyed on a hilly ride with my Dad and his crew, coffee and shopping with friends and a BBQ with neighbours. phew.
It was great.
AND thanks to my wonderful parents I was able to drive their van back and now have the luxury of a vehicle in Guelph for a couple of weeks...ohhh the possibilties!!
My latest Triathlon Code update is now up. I don't believe I have made my formal introduction so here it goes: I'm joining 5 other athletes and with the help of Mr. Whitfield, we are looking to help support our triathlon endeavors so that we can keep focused on training and racing. So far we are being wonderfully supported by Specialized and Gears Bike Shop, Vega, Champion Systems and Nineteen Wetsuits. I'm looking forward to being a great representative.

Whoops!
Six and half weeks already? Whoops, seems like time has been flying by!
SO, let's see, what HAVE I been up to...
Ran a 5k...wasn't too impressed but that's where I was at, I guess. Have to start the season somewhere.
Then I got sick.
Finished my 4th year research project! That was a relief.
Ran a 15k road race, in a blizzard, in mid april. That one quickly turned into a training run. Won a bit of cash though, so that was nice.
Then I got sick.
Competed in my first cycling race. That was a lot more fun then I was expected. Ended up third in my category (need to work on my sprinting skills...) and got a surprise prize in the mail this week, so that was nice.
Finished exams! That was a relief.
Got excited that it was summer and I could train!...maybe too excited.
Then I got sick.
Hmmm....there's a bit of a pattern here. Not sure I like it. Ok, took a step back, plan is to take the intensity down a notch for a block or two and just try to get some consistent volume in. Frustrated Dorelle.
In other news, I have been living in my new apartment for a week now and loving it! Its been fun setting everything up and figuring out a new place. We are hosting our first RTC BBQ this weekend, we'll see what everyone else thinks of our little place.
