This weekend features the Belle River Triathlon, and the Milton Triathlon. I will be missing the Belle River Tri this year. It is my first wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife!, so it will be a fun day spent in Toronto with Bre and Annika. However, enroute, we will briefly watch David, Brian, and Margaret, climb the infamous Sixth Line hill at the Milton triathlon.
Travis Goron and Dawn Van Vlack will be participating at the Belle River Tri. For those not racing, try to come out and support these excellent events. And after watching the Belle River Tri, head to the Lighthouse Inn Restaurant for some lunch--or use it as a pit-stop on your long bike rides.
The pics below show Margaret at at the Flying Pigs marathon in Cincinnati. I just love the pic of her sitting minutes after the race. You can see the sheer delight of having accomplished a BIG goal, and the relief that she can finally rest and not have to take another step. And that is why we do this. We live to dream, and we fulfill these dreams. Onwards and upwards we go....
Do you abide by the Olympic Creed? The Creed has a permanent inhabitant deep within my coaching philosophy. Read it again below, and continue to live your own Olympic Games in all of your endeavours in life...
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." - Pierre de Coubertin
And speaking of the finish line, here is a good article about how the brain regulates exercise pace in anticipation of the finish:
