Business trip to Hawaii

Can you believe the traffic to work today!


Photo radar was out in force on the commute today.

You will not believe what our job assignment was! They made use cycle around a tropical resort. Can you believe it!



Some people at work take there jobs very seriously, I on the other hand try to enjoy the scenery.



After our 30 second lunch break, our boss made us go for a run. Here are some of my co-workers.


Well the day is almost over for me now, time to call it quits. Another day at the office, just taken care of business!!

Honolulu Triathlon World Championships (October 9, 2005 )

The 2005 ITU World Triathlon Championship was held in Honolulu, Hawaii on Sunday, October 9th.

The Olympic distance race comprised of a 1.5km swim, 40 km cycle and 10km run. Over 2,000 athletes from 35 countries gathered at Waikiki Beach for one of the largest ever World Championships to be staged since the founding of ITU in 1989.

USA, the host country, has fielded the largest team with over 600 athletes, while Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Brazil and New Zealand have entered a record number of athletes.

The athletes swim heats started in 5 year age group from 20 to 80.

The number of countries taking part is very important as Triathlon positions itself for entry into the Paralympic Games.

Funny things I heard this week in Hawaii:

"I don't do triathlons, I do triathletes"

"My kind of three way . . . swim, bike, run"

Off to conker the World!!
swim, bike, run

Okay, okay… it’s Waikiki Beach! WOW! Look at the sun! The surf! Yeah, yeah, I know. It would be nice to abandon my race aspirations for a day or two and hit the beach for one last chance to get an ‘even’ tan – not one that shows off my most unfashionable bike short tans and tri top lines.

It has come time to go! A year of hard work in the pool, on the bike, and three pair of running shoes has cumulated in to this opportunity to represent Canada at the World Triathlon Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii. In order to ensure I have the best performance possible I have been following a weeklong taper of beer drinking and late nights...Oh, wait that is next weeks recovery plan.

This will prove to be a great experience of my short triathlon career. While some of my team mates are veterans, I will be representing Canada for the first time. This experience will be one I will hold dearly for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who has made this opportunity possible. With out the support of over twenty people I would not be leaving to Hawaii today. People that have helped me adhering to my training, taken me to races, provided financial support, believed in me and were an advocate for my goals. Anyone who has helped me achieve my goals by making my life a little easier are on my Honour Role. You are part of my Dream Team that has helped me achieve a Dream I have been chasing for a decade.
