Thursday, January 27, 2011 Sometimes when it is too cold in the out of doors for kayaking, we use the paddle pool facility at the Mississauga Canoe Club. Thanks to Missy for letting us train there. It's a good way to get the water feeling back, a nice break from paddle machine, running, swimming, gym, etc...
About two weeks till Florida!
Friday, January 14, 2011 The last couple of days up here in Whistler have been so snowy it's crazy! It's like the stop-motion Christmas Reindeer special from when we were kids, minus the reindeer and false notions of santa, and the stop-motion. Ok, only just the snow. Just SO MUCH SNOW!!
So we've been doing training activities in it! Cross Country Skiing, Snowboarding, and today, Snowshoeing! Snowshoeing is a lot of fun when you'd be up to your neck if you weren't wearing snowshoes, so we broke the trails all around the ski centre and went to check out Alexander Falls.
We've got just a few more days of hard training up here in the mountains... Whistler is makin' it pretty easy to make the best of it.
1. breakin' the trails, 2. big climb up to callaghan lake, 3. Alexander Falls

Welcome to the top! L2R Gab, Mark, Mehak, Ben, Rublee and me. Photo Credit to Johnny Hastings. It was a great climb, and well worth the view!
Skiing out in Whistler has been epic. Lots of big training days out at Callaghan Valley and at the Lost Lakes trails. The facilities at Whistler Athletes Centre have been amazing, a true legacy of the incredible Olympics our Country hosted last February. We're all very thankful for the opportunity to train here... big thanks to Whistler Sport Legacy and everyone here at the Athletes Center, to Own the Podium and Canoe Kayak Canada, and to Mazda Canada for the sweet wheels!
We've got another week here, and a tonne more kilometers to rip through the mountains. Loving it!
