2011 Recap: A wedding, a honeymoon, a trip, and a journey




I have been a true delinquent with my posts...I believe that last time I posted was in May!
I have a good excuse: I was busy planning my wedding and honeymoon, and decided to do the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a 24hour bike race in Mont Tremblant, Carmichael Training Systems course, and so many other things...it's hard to keep count.

Letting lose a little has done wonders for the mind, relaxing two week honeymoon in Hawaii was great, but now in January 2012...seems worlds away.

The rest is over, and it's time to get back into the swing of things...

2012 goals
Get back to the pool-- I miss swimming and the relaxation of it...yes it's "work", but there is nothing like that moving meditation: stroke stroke stroke stroke stroke breathe...ahhhh

O-Lift-- 2011 ignited my love for Olympic lifting, and I was able to attain my goal of a 49kg squat snatch (nothing stellar, but hey, any victory is a victory!) , 58kg clean and jerk (I've done slightly heavier in the past, but not nearly as "pretty"), so now I'll be working on keeping that going. Who knows...Pan-Am Games Dominican Republic 2012? Hmmmm....

More clicks on the bike-- Really enjoyed cycling this summer, kinda looking forward to doing more if it next summer.

CrossFit-- yeah always a challenge...every workout is a challenge. I will do what I can do. Obviously I don't think I'll ever make it to the Games (unless I wait out for the Masters category hahaha), but I will keep on trucking, setting goals and sticking to the plan.

X Country skiing-- This season was definitely off to a slow start, but with all my new skate equipment, I better get cracking!


I guess that's it for now!
