Happy Holidays!

It's official. I have achieved my goal as a professional triathlete.



I have a coffee sponsor.

I'm really happy to announce my newest sponsor for the 2012 season, The Koffee House!

They are an independent local cafe (Wellington & Southdale, London) with by far the best coffee in town...all fair trade organic. Definitely the place to go for us snobby coffee drinker triathletes, and only the cleanest healthiest stuff. Big thanks to Alex (whose brother is local competitive athlete and my occasional training buddy Chris Pickering) for supporting the local athletic scene. Now stop drinking crappy Starbucks!

Beyond that. Well I'm still insanely busy with store opening at MEC London but at least I'm finally paying the training bills! I'm managing to squeeze in training and I'm putting a much bigger focus on winter training on the bike than in previous years. I've developed my strength on the bike by riding a few hours a week through the winter, so we'll see what happens when I more than double that.

Things are rolling along really well for mid-December and I'm looking forward to building on everything in the new year. I've made a ton of changes to my training, racing plans and my philosophy on it all over the last few months and I've never been more excited to start a race season. Just chipping away one day at a time.

And with it being the Holday Season, I figured I would leave you with some Chrismas ACMFRP!
