Okanagan Summer

Well I have relocated to the Okanagan for the summer. We have a condo in Kelowna and it will be my training based for the next 6 weeks. We arrived last Saturday and have a great 5 days for training whic included a 5 hour bike (over 2 hours of climbing), 2+ hour run, solid brick, and 2 great swims at Giro. The first swim was 3 laps of the bouys and the second was four laps. Next two weeks I will progress to 6 laps. We have met some other triathletes at the beach and have had some great story swapping sessions.

I am racing in Osoyoos this Sunday. It is a half ironman and I am glad the weather forecast has changed for the day. Last weekend they were calling for highs of 41 but know they are saying it will not be higher than 30. We have a unit booked at a new complext called Walnut Beach. It looks great on the net and both Donna and I are looking forward to a weekend away. The plan is to take it easy on Saturday, race on Sunday followed by beers, wine and tapas...
