Triathlon: Miles & Miscues

I did the Cowichan even though I had the injury.

I ended up walking a good portion of the 5k course because my ITB hurt so bad.

I have now cancelled any plans I had for tris while on vacation in Ontario. I am hoping this thing gets healed by the time I get back so I can do the Cadboro Bay tri. I plan on signing up while on vacation if I can run without pain. Crossing my fingers.

With my new job with the CF it is unknown as to when I will be taking career courses and as such it is putting a real wrench in the works for me doing an IM next season. If I am on course Oct-MAr it will work but if I end up on Mar -Jun then I am hooped.

I think I may change my plans to doing instead, 2 HIM, 2 OLYM and a few sprints and just bettering my performance. Hopefully wherever I go has a good tri scene...nothing like Victoria I know but I can hope.

I also ended up in the Cowichan Newspaper on the sports front page as 'another rider'. Apparently they were not clever enough to check my number. Its a good shot and you can I am hunched over from the pain, yet still beating someone.

NE how all the best I go on vacation shortly....to all of the thieves out there, my bike is elsewhere and someone is watching the house (raspberry)
