THE MIRACLE OF FLYING..............

NO TOM, FLYING ISNT A MIRACLE. AIRPLANE DO STAY IN THE AIR BECAUSE THEY RELIE ON VERY IMPORTANT AND ACCURATE PHYSIC LAW!!! YOU NEED TO STOP THIS SILLYNESS OF CLOSING YOUR EYES AND HOLDING YOUR REMOTE CONTROLE HOPING THIS RC PLANE WILL STAY IN THE AIR.... IT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL YOU READ THE FREAKING MANUAL......

calgary olympic park

Well, i m now in calgary... the home of the 1988 winter olympic game and home of my good friend scott curry! Scott as been very nice to host me and work on me to help get me back on the race course. We did some acuponcture yesturday but the treatement was interrupted after i almost pass out from having 50 needles in my spin at the same time... it was a bit of a funny story....

Today, short run, rehab exerices... another short run and more rehab exercices... Then, i went to the olympic park to try on some winter summer sports!!!

It always been a dream of mine to do ski jumping and as they were having a open day to learn...i jump in, paid my 90$ fee and i was on my way to the top of the tower for my first jump...

I unfornutly went to the wrong tower and ended up at the 120m jump and realised mid air that i wasnt at the right one! Unbeleivable experience none the less...

here s some pictures of my day!

simple day...and ping pong

Today...up early, 90min ride drafting tom evans for half of it and coming back home alone with a nice tailwind...easy on my knee....

Run on the treadmill, 5% include and just steady...

Swam 2km on okanagan lake...lots of people on the beach!

That is almost a real day of training...but knee is still bothering me so lots of TP massage work tonight and movie and food

Here s a cool video of me, Kyle Jones, Nick Hastie and Simon Whitfield playing Around the world Pong in Flagstaff Arizona a few years ago. We were getting a bit bored at night and living on the dorm on the university NAU.... we made up a new game...

and Kyle jones is the one that screw up......$$$%^%^&**&#$#$@#

reverse therapy

Some of you might have notice from following me, when i post a lot, it s because i m doing pretty well and when i get sick or injured...i disapear for awhile! Well, yes, i m injured right now and will be missing my favorite race in this sport.... ironman canada. It s going to be hard to watch from the side of the road but i will now try some reverse therapy.

I will blog more....and hopefully, the health and injury will sort themself out!!!!

Well, i been seeing many many chiro/physio,etc to help me sort out some leg injury. I been amaze at the challenge of finding competent physio/chiro that have ART and Graston certification to be effective on athlete. So many others dont have those qualification and end up putting ice and hot water on my injury and showing me streached and wasting both mine and there times..... my opinion is, to graduate from those program....those technique should be mandatory to there professional knowledge....

Ok, this way message to them! Did 2h of light training today....very slow process to get back on my feet... one day at the time! looking forward to be a mean racing machine again!

Seeing Tracey tomorow at pro-physio! she is a mean A.R.T. and GRASTON machine! should be fun and effective!!!!

and a random pictures ....... Le Danois De La Montoya and me in hawaii! Danny is mister positive! The best attitude when hard time hits!
