UBC 2006 Track Team

It's been a fun but tiring week. After a couple of weeks of being out of school I thought it would be appropriate to write a post.

The beginning of my two weeks off of school started with a quick trip to the unseasonably warm weather of Seattle for a 5000m RW Race. This was my first attempt at the NAIA national standard time of 28:50.00. I just slipped under the qualifying time with a 28:44.07. My next attempt at a standard time was yesterday at UBC vs. SFU Achilles Track Meet at Swangard stadium I met the 3000m RW standard by 24 seconds officially securing a seat for the NAIA National Championships later this month in Fresno California.

Kasandra, Marina (formally from Canmore, now from Duncan) and I decided to make a trip up to Whistler today to visit my sister and head to the slops for probably the last time this season. Although conditions haven’t been as good as they normally are, it is still a great excuse to get away from the city for a few days. Interestingly enough, while there has been next to no snow in the area for the last few weeks, there has apparently been a bit in the ski areas of Australia, where seemingly every second person in Whistler is from. And for those geographically challenged, yes it is summer in Australia at the moment.

Monday is the end of my two weeks of rest and relaxation. Back to school for summer semester.
