-one week after the crushing of the field at the Great White North Half Ironman, Dr. Big Deal won the Desert Half Ironman in Osoyoos. In doing this, he broke the course record with a 4:01:51 clocking and became the 2009 Canadian Long Course Champion. KBD raced in Osoyoos as well, one week after winning the Squamish Olympic tri. I believe he was feeling a bit flat on the bike, but used his awesome foot speed to run a 1:17:16 half marathon and put himself in 4th position.
-On this same day, TBD raced the Vancouver Half Iron and placed 13th overall and 1st age-grouper against a competitive field. Apparently he didn't go off the run course on this one!
-TBD races again one week later at the Peach Classic and places 9th overall and 3rd in M35-39. Well done considering Friday night's debauchery!
-Quasi team member, G-Dub, also raced the Peach Classic and placed 12th overall. Well done G-dub! check out his blog for his own comments of the race.
-Ruby got a summer haircut - I was told to take note of it.
-As for me, I've done nothing since the Great White North on July 5. I've had 3 weeks off training and I've spent some good quality time with ABDGF (Tina). I watched every stage of the Tour, took a week off work, drank plenty of beer and we saw some whales too! To top it off, Tina and I went to our 20 year high school grad reuinion this past weekend......yes, we are old! I feel good....I'm rested physically and mentally. I started some training this week to just "shake off the cobwebs" as DBD would say.
-Watch for KBD and BD Cook this weekend as they head to Calgary for the inagural Calgary 70.3 Event. Good luck guys and enjoy the trip!
-Upcoming races for the team include: Apple Triathlon (DBD, KBD, ABD, G-Dub), IMC (TBD, BD Cook), Cultus Lake (DBD, KBD, ABD), and the Big Show in October (DBD, ABD)
-The most important news for the team, however, is Monday night's celebration of DBD's birthday at the Shioki Yoga Studio....
DBD has agreed to wear the team speedo at the Apple triathlon
Kudos to Cyndi Robinson for the cake
And we actually did do some yoga.......
That's all for now.....

DBD wore his new "german butt-floss" team issue speedo this morning underneath his cycling shorts. There are plenty of holes in those things and fortunatly the suit was there or I would have been looking at a lot of ass. Ass I would rather not see. GW
Respect the Blue G-dub, especially when its in front of you.
