We've been away lately. A couple of weekends ago, we went to Whistler with our coach for a cross-training weekend. It was a great time. We did some snow-shoeing (first time ever) which was an absolute blast and an awesome way to spend a few hours. On top of that, we went to the pool and got a short run in around Whistler Village. One of the definite highlights was seeing the ski jump portion of the Nordic Combined at the Olympic Nordic Village site for Vancouver2010. It was pretty crazy.
Imagine heading down a steep ramp at 90+mph with no other place to go but off the end and then flying through the air 140m and landing on a very steep icy slope only to bomb down the hill on skiis over 7' long without turning.....neither can we!
Last weekend, we took part in Race #2 of the Island Race Series (Cobble Hill 10k) and we both had PBs.
Amber's Results - 15/24 in age group w/ a time of 49:31 (4:57/km) - 274/491 overall
Matt's Results - 12/20 in age group w/ a time of 44:08 (4:25/km) - 146/491 overall
It was a pretty good race and we had a blast. Unfortunately, I had to run another 8k to get the run I needed for the day.
This weekend we were in Comox for a Regional Development Camp for swimming. We had a great time with the group that was there and despite being water-logged, the swimming was a blast as well. We learnt a lot and improved overall.
Amber is heading to Vancouver later this week for work for 4 days so I have managed to get some time off of work to join her. So, we'll be in Vancouver this weekend.
Looking forward to the weather inproving over here. M
