I’d get my summer back! I’d be able to spend my weekends camping, hiking and mountain biking the way I like to. So when the half ironman was cancelled I was actually kind of relieved. I wondered if this had been a very expensive mistake. The winter rolled in a couple of weeks later and I was very upset to discover that riding an indoor trainer for 2-4 hours every weekend is about as much fun as it sounds. In my excitement I registered for the Calgary Half Ironman 2020 and bought myself a triathlon bike. Training for xTerra was awesome and the race itself was one of the most fun days I’ve ever had. I knew I needed a new challenge and last summer I discovered that it would be triathlons (seems kind of obvious but it still took me a few years to figure it out). However, after completing a few marathons (eventually) I didn’t seem to have the same excitement about training. Not being a runner in any way at the time this was a big ask! In those first few years I discovered a love of distance running that inspired the website you’re currently reading. I’d rediscovered training motivation that had been sorely lacking since many years prior when I decided to try and run my first marathon. Having decided to take up triathlon last year I’d registered for the xTerra mountain biking triathlon in Canmore at the end of the summer. Of course, I was really excited at first, however, it was mixed with a little disappointment. All the half Ironman training I had been doing all winter would be wasted. After the COVID pandemic hit and everything was cancelled, I just presumed it would have to wait till next year. I recently got word that the Half Ironman that I had registered for is actually going ahead this year.
