Dainties are Bad. Tribe is good.

"Just a hearty hibernation," he said with a twinkle in his eye.  Just one more chocolate.  Just one more glass of wine.  But then the consequence.... you have to get back on the bike and suffer through the start up of another new year in the world of triathlon.

To be honest, I feel  that I have done rather well over the break.  Since my last post, we took the kiddies to lap swim twice and they loves to play in the pool while Tri-Girl and i went at it for 30 minutes of free.  That in itself should be commended just on the sheer fact that we had to get up at some un-godly hour to make it to the pool before lap swim ended at 9:00.  Nothing.... and I do mean that there is nothing like waking up at the bottom of a pool.

As well, Tri-Girl and I got out for a nice 5k.



Nothing too strenuous, just an easy day out in the sun... and with a little procrastination, we made our way to Friday where we took the kids tobogganing at Woodhaven.

This was great as we owned the hill, as there was no one there.   Tri-girl skated to her hearts delight on a rink that had just been flooded and there was not a soul around.  Never underestimate the exercise involved in climbing up and down the hill in heavy clothing.

Finally, it was back at it at the PanAm and Tri-girl and I made our way out with trainers and accoutrements to join our fellow tribe members for a serious workout.  Click on the "View details" for a brief recap of the carnage.


All in all, I am ready to get back into the saddle.  It truly feels satisfying.
