What’s New?
An update is overdue, but I have a thesis proposal due this week, a French exam, and a my first ITU race on May 22. So, a bullet point update is all I got to give for now.
- I’m to be a godfather. An italian suit is not included with the title but I still think this is pretty badass. I technically become the godfather at the christening, which isn’t for another month.
- Training is going well. I’m holding faster pace times for longer and having bigger training weeks than ever before. Thanks to Noa and all the PT crew for getting me this far!
- Laura and I moved to a detached suite in Cordova Bay, right on the water. We’ve got a south-facing deck with a view of the ocean. Plus, no upstairs neighbours to keep us awake or wake us up.
- I had a PR at the TC10k a few weeks ago (34:52). This race came right at the end of semester (read: all-nighters-at-Denny’s) and amidst moving. I’m happy with the time and see it as a signpost of things to come.
- I had some issues with getting a new bike but it looks like another bike store in Victoria is going to help me out and get me on a sweet ride before the end of the month. More on that soon.
- I’m back in classes over the summer. Full time grad school, full time athlete. It is a little bit much, but I manage to hold it together.
- First ITU race in eleven days. I’m looking forward to going out, giving it a go, and having some fun. All the training is to race, so I am going to enjoy expressing my fitness and seeing where I stand. I expect I’ll learn a lot.
