I have to say, I am pretty lucky. The games are less than a few weeks away, I can't wait.

IBU and the Chiefs


Over the past 24 hrs, International Biathlon Union (IBU) has come and gone from Whistler. It has a been a great learning experience on how "we" are going to pull it off.
IBU Technical Delegates , and Biathlon Canada are really on the ball on hosting major Biathlon events and stressed how important the Olympic winter games are. Things are looking great, let's hope for Snow!

Cheak Challenge

This weekend was a full on race weekend. Two big races back to back. What more could you wish for ?

So,as it stands the Cheakamus Challenge has always been a hard race for me, because of all the road and pee gravel. The race is a point to point 74 km race. I have the endurance in the legs , but no power. All I could do is just spin, spin , spin. I had lots of energy in the tanks , but when I try to bridge the gap on some riders. The power was just not there. You can always learn from races. My goal was to take time off from last years race. Mission accomplished. 16 came off my time from last years race. My legs were feeling it after the race.

A big shout out to Mike Bohem for winning in a very hard field in the Men's 30 -39. Also a big "whoop-whoop!" goes to my good friend Joanna Harrington( seen in picture racing at worlds) and Lesley Clements. These ladies rule the Mtn bike seen in Whistler ! Nice work girls locking 1-2 in the women's field.

Up next !


2 races down and, 2 more great race this weekedend. Up first is the Cheakamus challenge , a point to point Mtn bike race. Over 70 km from Squmaish to Whistler with some great single track. Last the day started of warm , then turn to plus 8 degrees and raining. Man, was I cold after that one. Had to stand in a shower for 40 mintues!

This year will be another great race, if you can make to the start line you can still sign up. race goal is not to get in a crash with a pack of meat heads, and finish after 4 hrs.

Sunday will be another test !
