A very very late spring.

This has been a great couple of weeks. I have been able to get in some runs (still inside) and to the pool on a regular basis. I have even managed to get in some good quality spins in the past few weeks. Lots of running swimming an biking I can't wait for the weather to let up. This has been a very very late spring.
I managed to get in some stair running at Rexall Place during my lunch breaks with my friend Doug Hallett.
The pool is great! It is a 53meter pool at the Terwilligar Rec. center.  I am able to go here anytime I have a spare hour and get in some good quality swim practice. Swim Swim Swim!

I love the blue water.

The first day of spring and I have triathlon fever!  It is still cold and lots of snow in Edmonton. I went away for a quick trip to the Caribbean and managed to do a couple of nice runs in Miami and some swimming in warm water, in Cozumel Mexico.  Wait a minute, they have an Ironman in Cozumel. I love the blue water.



 Today I went to the new Terwilligar rec. center and got in the pool for the first time.  It is a great big  53 meter pool and it is fantastic. I am going to own this pool. We bought into the upgraded locker room package and since we use it so much, it is so nice. I plan on being there almost every day. It is so fun now I can go for a swim and enjoy swimming lengths. The first day of spring means the training is now full on.
