Well the blog system is up and going again, and my break from blogging has been a little longer than originally planned. Still need to rewrite all the old entry urls, but I’m sure google will figure things out, so i might not bother.
Currently I’m training for another triathlon, which will be my second. It’s about 3 and half weeks to race day, and things are coming along well. Took a minute off my swim time in the pool this morning, pretty stoked about that—swimming is my weakest of the three, so improvements there are always good. I had great plans of doing some kind of racing while living in Italy however it proved too difficult, swimming there was painfully expensive, and to enter anything it appeared you needed a medical certificate. So all that got filed in the too hard basket, however it feels good to get back into it.
Also this winter, the southern winter not the northern one immediately preceded it, got in 3 good days snowboarding down at Whakapapa. We had been planning on going boarding when we were living in England but the recession kind of got in the way of that. Was good to finally get to use the snowboarding gear we’d bought in the UK some 6 months earlier.
Tomorrow morning i’m off for a 4km sprint around the lake, I’m hoping the weather holds out until after I’m done as the forecast doesn’t look so hot.
