Nationals and an Update

So the race went alright in Kelowna. I was super nurvous going into the race when i saw the start list with the likes of Simon Whitfield, Paul Tichlarr, Brent McMahon, Kyle Jones and A.P. B-Smith. Quite the field. I had a small chat with Simon about his o'l city, Kingston and some encouraging words to keep my nurves down. He must have seen i was edgy when he came over to me and talked about doing a relay at K-town tri. that would be fun!
At the starting line the gun blew and it was mad hell in the water. I tried soo haed to make that first pack of swimmers but was dropped by the group as they just made it pout of transition before me. The bike was lonley with just myself and another frenchman alone. out bikes would have been quicker if we all worked in a pack. I think a few guys gave up on the bike and quit...tisk tisk. (9 of them) by the run we were down quite a bit as the main pack worked haed and were much more effieient and saved alot for the run. my group of quys were toast from the bike and we cruised the run as there were not too many of people right behind us. My main goal is to work hard on that swim and make the main pack! The run should be much quicker. all i need is some rest on the bike.

Vancouver is a beautiful city as well as kelowna. We (my mom and brother) climbed Grouse Mountain on the grind ( all 4100 feet up) and got some amazing pictures (will post them in Hawai'i)Now its back to some training, swimming alot and cruising on the run through Vancouver and off to Hawai'i!
