Year end 2012

I haven't been active blogging so here goes in terms of an update. After I did Ironman Tremblant, I took a break for a month or so form training. I ran a few times a week and did some yoga but that was aout it. I went on a vacation to Cape cod following the ironman. I started with a new swim coach in October. I met him through his partner who is a triathlete. His name is Ken Fitzpatrick and he is the swim coach for the University of Western Ontario. He finished 5th in breaststroke in the 1984 Olympics. I have been getting online workouts 3 times a week and some feedback. I am really enjoying it and it is motivating me to swim. I haven't been cycling much at all. I am leading a spin class once per week but that is about the norm for me this time of year. I am running two or three times a week but lacking a bit of motivation when it comes to running. It is always the thing I enjoy the least and I have been bad lately. I am starting to think about my annual cycling trip to Tucson, Arizona which is in February. That will come soon enough. Last year I cycled about 500 k so I hope to do the same or more. This will be my third year and I am starting to know my way around there.

The only race I have booked so far for 2013 is the Mt Tremblant half ironman. I will do some local races. I have heard there may be an ironman distance race in NB. I may check that out or do the Epic race in Dartmouth. I have my bike trainor set up in my garage in New Glasgow and I hope to use it more than I did last year. I also hope to get outside a bit on my cycle cross bike.
