Here it goes!

If you haven't noticed this is Olympic time and our PVR is going full time. This has been a tiring week as Tammy and I are recovering from a local race that we trained through in preperation for 2 important races coming up. I am going into the National Age-Group championships in Kelowna which is an Olympic distance on Aug 17, and Tammy is doing an Ironman in Penticton the week after. We will be staying at Tina's place (sister) in Kelowna for the whole week. We are both looking forward to the time away from everyday life.

This is supposed to be the peak of our season and it's been a long season. Right now our priority is to rest and recover. There are no fitness gains to be made this close, just maintaining what we have. We went for a ride today and Tammy did a personal best up this little climb to Durrance lake in Victoria. She wasn't feeling great and was holding back a bit. This is a good sign as she still has 2 weeks till race day and a lot of recovery can happen between now and then. She is going to rock this year.

Some of you may not know that I had a Bike accident in mid March and broke my collar bone. It's added a few complications that I would have prefered to avoid but I did eventually recover. I'm not 100% yet because there are some muscles that are not happy to be working from a different position in the shoulder so they get cranky. The collar bone broke right where some muscles attach, so you can imagine the connection is different. I have great therapists and I just keep moving forward. Not much else you can do.
