Hi everybody,

It's been a great weekend for me. Saturday morning Morty, Gab, Cory and I had a really great practice at Burloak. We did a bunch of one minute pieces at 100%, with one minute rest, and we all really charged it the whole way. It was great to get pushed by those guys and I felt like I was paddling well and really giving it everything I had. It was a great end to a good week of training back at home. After practice we had a nice breakfast in Oakville, and packed up the car and headed for Ottawa. A very pleasant drive was highlighted by a great lunch at Arby's. We cruised back in time to head over to good friend and C4C supporter Mylanie Barre's birthday party. It was a fun night and we were happy to celebrate Mel's 25th birthday. I could have sworn that she used to be older than me, but I guess not...
Today I had a very relaxing day of sleeping, reading and rock band, and then went to the McBride's house for a very nice dinner to celebrate another birthday. Ken Wallace (Australian Olympic Champion, fellow 2001 Curitiba Jr Worlder, and friend) turned 26 today. Welcome to the club.
Now I'm getting ready to go to bed, looking forward to getting back to another week of training at the Rideau Club. It will probably be my last week training there before renovations begin for their new club house, so I'll make sure to take in all the sights, and smells... of the the clubhouse.
Alright, that's all for now, come back soon for some C4C video later in the week, and hopefully some new Ask Us Anything answers! Thanks for reading and keep your paddle in the water.
