Good bye snow

Finally snow is gone ! 7 more days and the Oshawa contract is over ! By April 7 all the snow contracts will be over !
Had a great ride tonight, I was going to do 1.5 hours on the bike but with the lack of sleep this week I wanted to be careful.

I'm going to hopefully get back on track now with Syracuse only 13 short weeks away I have a lot of work to do ! I'm going to go real hard for a month with cardio in the morning and my triathlon training in the evening and my bricks are going to start in April.

My winter training has been spotty at best with all the snow and work it's been difficult ! Last weekend I finished my lifeguard training and now I'm a certified lifeguard ! A great edition to my already impressive turn around in life ! Yes I just patted myself on the back lol !

I don't know where to begin

I guess I'll begin by saying "wow what a ride"
I haven't posted in such a long time there is no way I can make that up ! The winter this far has been brutal for me, running the snow camps is a difficult job but with a good team it seems to work out fine, just many hours away from home and days without sleep!

Syracuse 70.3 is 13 and a bit weeks away which is in the back of my mind and although I'm not where is like to be I'm still in a good position to finish without having a complete meltdown on race day !

Once again team Drinkle has played an important role in keeping my big dreams rolling forward ! They have already spent lots of energy keeping me on track and I love them to the moon for that !

I've been away from my blog for so long because I did some google searches and found thousands of blogs about people doing the same thing, lots of great stories of people beating the odds and losing lots of weight and becoming ironman athletes and I felt like I was just another big guy trying to loose weight ! But my blog (as I found out) is like my training journal that I use to keep track of things and plan my life so I think it's imperative that I keep up on it !

I have a very intense race schedule this summer leading into a very important winter ! The beginning of my ironman training starts now ! This summer I'm registering for Ironman Mont Tremblant !
I'm very excited and eager to get this all set up !

Over the next few days I will try and update on my crazy life, it's been different!
