"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning" - Mahatma Gandhi

THE schedule

Ok, so this is the plan for the summer. IT took months of work thinking about it, committing to it, and then going back and changing a lot of things. These are the races I am planning on:

May 22nd - Ixtapa, Mexcio - Pan Am ITU
June 13th - Wasa Lake Tri (BC)
June 27th - Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec - Pan Am ITU
July 11th - San Francisco, USA - Pan Am ITU
July 17th-24th - PT Performance Training Penticton Training Camp
{insert local race here}
August 22nd - Kelowna, BC - Premium Pan Am ITU (Nationals)
September 12th - Alabama, USA - Pan Am ITU (**tentative)
October - some race ideas that include the last LTF series races, but this is TBD

Strathclyde ended up not being a viable option as the jet-lag and colder weather out-weighed any benefits heading that way. I was looking forward to racing back where I grew up but I'm certain I'll be back for that race another year. Alabama in September is tentative as it is the US Elite Nationals, so I don't know if it is worth the trip.

Off to Thetis this morning for our group long run. Paula at Lululemon Victoria hooked me up with a pair of the TIDE SHORT to try out. They are a swim trunk for beach use (summer) but I'm going to see how they do on the trails today! I'm a big fan of Lululemon - their clothing is so comfortable!

One more build week and then a recovery week! It could not come at a better time as both my finals are that week. TC10km in 3 weeks!? YIKES!

It is a good thing your not coming to Strathclyde, because with the LuLu shorts you would be disowned and exiled.

Schedule looks good, you should get a great taste for ITU racing.
