First off, here are some more of the Boise 70.3 pics I promised on my last blog.  Some just were sent to me, and then there is the perpetual formatting issue that techo weenies, such as myself, encounter more regularly than perhaps necessary…ahem.

My uber cool homestay family (The Colberts) - Thanks, guys!

Friend, and fellow Calgarian, Chris Kirker, just prior to placing 3rd in M50-54.  His wife Jill (whose picture I cannot seem to get up here,  but not for lack of trying!!!) placed 1st in the same age category.  They’re both off to Clearwater!

For other news, yesterday, July 1st, was not only Canada Day, but also my very first official day of no longer being a ‘teacher’, but instead trying to soak up the realization that I am now a full-time athlete.  Hoo boy!  This said, I would also like to make this blog a little tribute to my grade five class, who made this challenging year of the ‘juggling act’ very worthwhile.  Go get ‘em, 5Mo!

We am now in the midst of boxes and mess as my fiance, Eric, and I make our way to Vernon, B.C. to really and truly venture on a new road….can’t wait!  A few days of packing, and then some R&R prior to my next race, Canadian Long Distance Triathlon Championships at the Desert Half in Osoyoos, B.C., which, I am sure, will live up to its DESERT name!!!

Happy Canada Day!
