Weekend Fun With Other GP Athletes

This weekend was great, Amber and I met up with the Grande Prairie running crew on Saturday and had an awesome time hanging out with a group of great athletes. We went for a little 12km run at 8:30am and afterwards had a meeting with about 20 other triathletes at a local coffee shop. They really want to start a tri-club here in town and based on the interest, it should take off very quickly. They also want to get a race back and so far it's a go for May 17th!! That would be great and Amber and I are there to support any triathlon interest in 'red neck central.' I have to say I'm getting a little used to it and actually enjoying it, there are some terrific people here it just takes a while to see through the rough Grande Prairie exterior.

After the run we had four people join us at our place for a sufferfest courtesy of coach Troy. 90 minutes of pain, "totally time trial" was the workout and all 6 of us were hurting afterwards. There's always something nice about suffering with other people, it makes it seem like your pain isn't as bad.
