Cancelations

So bummed that the Sprint Tri in Ifrane this weekend was canceled. I know that Thomas did all he could to make it happen, but guess we're gonna have to wait til another time. I know he is pretty upset as well. It was looking like a fun little venture with about 20 or so folks up in the mountains getting their game on. I was looking forward to pulling up the rear (again.) But I am never in this to place. I just want to post PB's every time I compete.

This morning I had a nice workout in prep for the event. I first biked the 20km (about 12 miles) in around 40 minutes. That's about 18mph. Pretty good for me since I warmed up at the beginning. Then I hopped in the pool and swam my 500meters in a little over 10 minutes. That is fairly slow, but I am getting faster personally.

In light of our sadness at the canceled event, Simo and I sat at a coffee shop and planned out our Tri that we are going to host in the Fall. He mentioned another Sprint, but I want to give people an option for a Sprint or an Olympic. I personally want to compete in another Olympic, and with the route we have planned out, it should be fairly easy to double it for people. The ball will get started rolling tomorrow as we sit with the president of his athletic association and getting his backing.
