Start of the season 2012

Haven't written a post in quite a while so my apologies if it gets to be a little long.

Recap of the end of last season. Nationals went better then I was expecting with a top 6 finishing in every race and one 1st place in Canada finish. This resulted in second place overall for Junior Men. I'm really happy with my finish to an awesome season. Showed that I can still go out and throw down in a Skate distance but also that I'm now able to hold my own in a classic race.

Now, with my last Junior season wrapped up and a good solid rest month behind me. I'm back on the west coast now enjoying the beautiful wet weather. The team has been on snow a few times recently, two weeks ago we had the chance to spend a week up at the Olympic park skiing on about 5k of decent hard pack snow. We're about to start 5 days of skiing up at the Callaghan Valley Back country Lodge.

I just got home a few days ago from Vancouver Island where I spent 7 days with the rest of the family, along with an old friend of my dad's. as a 50th birthday trip for my mom this year and something my dad wanted to do when he turned 50 a few years ago. We planned on doing it in 5 nights, 6 days but with how the tides and everything worked we ended up coming out a day earlier then planned and only had one night and morning of rain luckily.

Well I'd best be off to finish packing and hit the hay before we head up to the lodge tomorrow morning.
