This, that and the other thing

All sorts of stuff going onthese days, both school and leisure.

School has picked up this week and we're in lectures now with the secondary people also. This means I have class with good ole Jared. I've also signed up for all of my tutorials for this term. They were strategically chosen based on creating large gaps suitable for training. :) I'm only on campus Mon - Wed which is pretty sick, but I'll be there other days to train as well. There's definitely going to be a lot of work to do in these classes. I mean it's nice that we've only got school 3 days per week, but we're talking 7 - 9 hours of class on those 3 days, yowzers. And there's LOTS of assignments and readings to do accross the courses.

Beyond that it'll be some busy weekends coming up!

This weekend I'm going with Katie down to Huskisson to check out some races. Craig Alexander is racing so I'm hoping there will be an opportunity to meet him and grab a photo. :)

Next weekend is the Mojo Surf trip. Basically it's Friday to Sunday, way up North past Port Macquarie. Should be an awesome time!

Two weekends after that and I'll be racing the Sixfoot marathon up at Blue mountains. Katoomba to Jenolan caves. Tunes, Katie, Lee, Jared and probably Michelle will be coming.

THEN another 3 weeks after THAT we're heading BACK up to Port Macquarie (Tunes, Jared and Katie) to see Ironman Australia. We'll rent a car on Sat Morning, drive up (a little further than Ottawa to Toronto) and then come back late Sunday. That should be awesome too!

Then it's a bit of a grinder til we leave in June/July for our 3 week trip. Good time to make money and focus on school I guess.

These little weekend trips aren't terribly expensive. I mean the Katoomba one is in and around $70 per person (plus $110 for my race entry) and the Port MacQuarie is $100 each for car and accomodations.

GOOD TIMES! And the sun decided to come out today!

PS - I've been training like an animal. Getting consistent at the pool, running and SOON cycling. Focus is still on running til after Gold Coast Marathon, then heavy on the cycling, swimming with maintenance running.

3:10 to Boston, part two, begins today. Last year I missed the train by 12 minutes, can't let that happen again.
