We're less than 7 days away from our last competition of the year. Aptly, it's on our 'home' turf in Montreal. We'll be racing the 200, 500 and 2000m. And, for the first time, I'll not only be paddling, but also steering the women's crew that I coach in their first competition as a team. I'm super excited for that!
Haven't seen G in about 3 weeks... she had family stuff going on, then I was away working... tomorrow we'll meet in the gym for the first time in what seems like forever! Can't wait - it's time to get back to the business of lifting heavy stuff because our first fit test will be upon us almost as quickly as this cool fall air seemed to hit. I had to throw on a sweatshirt and socks for the first time at home today. I even closed the windows a bit, the breeze was just a tad too chilly for me. I also succumbed to the grocery-checkout-line-marketing ploys and bought a collection of hearty soup recipes. Yup - summer is ending, the boats will be coming out of the water soon, and we'll be paddling in the indoor tank sooner than we want to admit. But we have absolutely no complaints. It's been an amazing season - our first international championships (where we showed the world what hard work and determination can accomplish); our most successful national championships ever; and too many amazing memories and experiences to list.
