The weather is starting to turn here on Vancouver Island, but it's still nice enough to get out on the bike for some long rides and a bit of Cyclocross racing!

Having had a number of amazing coaches and influences over the years, I'm excited to share my knowledge with whomever is willing to put up with me ;)

"Having been there before in 2013, I knew what to expect. And I did my best to prepare for what the race had to offer...yhis meant hills at effort. Always at effort."

I've been lucky to train with some very exceptional athletes over the years, and my friend Aaron Royle is no exception. He recently finished 6th in the Rio Olympic Test event and in the process ensured his place on the start line next year at the Olympics. After a difficult start to the season I think he knew that Rio favoured his abilities, and he had the confidence he would be ready to meet the demands of competition. Here's his report on the event.
Thanks Travis for the profile on the Alter G. An awesome tool that I've been using in my rehab process.

Special bday shoutout to my buddy Andrew Russell! We trained and raced together for a number of years and it's been a blast cycling and hanging out with him again since I've been back in Victoria. 33 is just a number man! ;)

Had a great time volunteering at the Victoria Youth Triathlon yesterday. A beautiful day and a record breaking 300 kids out there racing. Brought back some good memories from when I raced back in the day.

Here in Chengdu, China for a World Cup race. Competing tomorrow and I hope it's as interesting as what I've seen so far.

Exciting women's race today just got me even more stoked for tomorrow. Race starts at 3PM here in Cape Town, 6AM on the Westcoast.

Short interview with Triathlon Magazine Canada before my race here in Cape Town.
Sometimes I have to take a step back, slow down and physically remove myself to help keep my head in the game. My latest update explains that and also why I'm posting it from South Africa.
Obviously had to get Taylor Swift in there as well :)

"There's an old saying that says you're never as bad as everyone says and you're never as good as everyone says."
Great quote from a special interview with Carey Price. From his humble roots in Anahim Lake, BC to Olympic Gold in Sochi and now an upcoming Stanley Cup playoff run. There's so much maturity and experience in his words. I highly recommend you check it out. Definitely a leader in and outside of his sport.

Our group was featured on the Australian National News last night. Some good insight on what we're all about. Not too sure about the tattoo bit at the end, seems extreme.

Did a search through my inbox and came across my run rehab from this time last year. I've been a bit flat since the race in Mooloolaba but this definitely puts things into perspective.

First time back on the podium in almost 2 years at the Mooloolaba Oceania cup. A really emotional finish for me. Press release here www.
I raced well this weekend and of course my moustache ended up getting most of the attention. Here's the recap from the Wollongong ITU.
