Recap of Weekends

The title is plural weekends because I've been tired and lazy and haven't posted anything lately.

Last weekend was our little triathlon called the Triathlon of Compassion. It's by far the flattest easiest triathlon in the circuit for the season. I did quite well, especially in the swim and run, but not so well on the bike. My posted time was 1 hour 13 mins and about 48 seconds. I came in 4 out of 24 for my age group and roughly 68th overall out of 161 entries, including all of those super hardcore athletes.

A few days before that I had run the July 1st 10K to help start prepare me for my up and coming Olympic distance triathlon. I've also been trying to fit in some swimming in the mix of all of my training too..



The tri gang pre-race for the 10k. There were 3 of us in the middle who were running the race. Since I was racing in my own triathlon I didn't exactly get to catch any photos of the race. But I was caught at the end of the race finishing. Just after 11am and it's hot!

And this is what I looked like at the end of my triathlon race.

Here are a few photos that I liked from the past week and a bit. Today I biked a new route out to the airport and back to the lake. I forgot to buy a few quick energy bars so I was quite tired!

Trying to Figure It Out

Do you ever just feel like you want to accomplish so much in the weekend, but of course know it all will not happen? That's certainly happening to me this weekend. I want to accomplish all so much. I'll give you a bit of a taste of it. I wanted to go to the gym, swim, go car shopping, go shoot some Autumn photos, do some baking and go grocery shopping.

The Autumn weather has been windy, thus making the weather an unpredictable partially sunny day.

I've also been working on photography which has totally been on my mind lately. Here is my flickr graph (available tomorrow).

As Fall starts, we also start our new schedules.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for the change but it's already here.

A Sunny Weekend

We haven't had to much of the good ole sun all summer long. Most Vancouverites look forward to the warm sunny summer weather but we didn't get that much of it. At least all of us feel extra cheated because the sun never seemed to come during the weekends.

So I'm hoping this weekend screams sunshine as my camera is screaming to be used and I'm screaming to use it. Hopefully a few more photos will follow post weekend. It's supposed to be about 21C here. Just perfect.

Enjoying The Weekend

We are off to enjoy the weekend, the nature all around us, to photograph, to bird watch and to take in part of Bavaria.

Goals for the weekend include:

1. Taking lots of photos.
2. Not being near a computer.
3. Taking at least one nap during the day.
4. Enjoying Nature and watching birds.
5. Enjoying Bavaria in North America.

Feel free to guess where we are off to. And stay tuned for photos.
