Its The Final Countdown
September 27th, 2010I was fortunate enough to spend my last weekend in BC on beautiful Pender Island.
To celebrate my brother David's 30th birthday Jacynthe and I, Dave and his fiance Tris along with 4 other couples made our way over the Straight to spend 2 nights on Pender.
Was great to spend time with family and friends - we spent most of the days either preparing or digesting large family-style meals (snu ...

Party Time!
September 19th, 2010
With my acceptance into Calgary's Olympic Oval Program I will be shipping off to the Heart of the New West on Sunday. This is a very exciting time as we will be embarking on a new phase in this quest of ours.

Vancouver College Homecoming 2010
September 18th, 2010This weekend was Homecoming weekend at Vancouver College. Last night was an alumni dinner with my brother Steve as emcee and CFL legend Cal Murphy as guest speaker. The feature event was this afternoon as the Irish Varsity football team squared off with arch-rival St. Thomas More at O'Hagan Field.

Thanks Spring!
September 17th, 2010Thanks to the tremendous support from friends and supporters online our video was accepted by Okanagan Spring Brewery as part of their Sponsor Me Spring campaign!
The crew came out in numbers and we had another great day on the hills. The weather once again held off and allowed us to summit the hill a dozen times and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labours!

Mother Nature's Stairmaster
September 15th, 2010It is easy to forget the natural playground we find ourselves in as residents of Beautiful British Columbia.
For example, I forget that my casual references in posts and tweets about the Grouse Grind leave some dumbfounded. After an extensive Facebook chat with Tonis (an inline skater from Estonia who follows the blog - hi Tonis!) I was reminded of how lucky we are. He inquired about the G ...
Use All Of The Buffalo
September 15th, 2010One of the hardest things to do when training is to take full advantage of down time to allow the body to recover. As the saying goes "I am not as young as I used to be". The body needs time to heal. Just as intense as we want our workouts to be our rest must be treated with the same regard.
This week is a recovery week for us. We have much lower volume and the focus is on getting my right ...
