I've noticed that I am much, much better at using twitter than I am blogging.
So I'm going to keep this brief & short in hopes that I continue to blog on a more frequent basis.
Highlights:
-Finished IM NZ (Just over 13 hours)
-Graduated from UBC with a BSc. in Food, Nutrition, Health & Human Kinetics (a mouthful, I know)
-Registered with Canadian Society of Exercise Physiologists & National Strength & Conditioning Association
-Started my first company. Waters Wellness Consulting (website coming soon)
-we specialize in Nutrition, Dietary counselling, Tobacco Dependance counselling, Exercise prescription, Body composition assessments, Lactacte & other metabolic testing (VO@2, Personal Training, Strength & Conditioning
-Accepted to start my postgrad diploma in Sports Nutrition with the International Olympic Committee
-Working with FaCT Canada with High performance testing and protocol design
-Have selected my subject of research for my MSc. (Technical stuff, but it has to do with glycogen storage, heat, sub maximal exercise & electrolyte drinks)
-Worked with the National Swim Centre & UBC swimming in strength and conditioning program
-Hired by the Kamloops Classics Swimming as their Strength & Conditioning coach for the 2009-2010 season
Other notes
-No wedding in June of this year.
-Done 10 days of recovery/injury management due to medial tibial fractures on both shins. I have 8 weeks without running, walking and biking. But lots of swimming
-Going to compete in IM CAN still, but stop after the first 10 km of the bike. New goal is to be the top 3 out of the water at IM CAN.
-We got our awesome puppy Sev, 2 and a half weeks ago. He's a purebreed chocolate lab with enough energy to keep us busy all the time. Sev was 10 lbs when we got him, now he's closer to 18; growing like a weed.
In the interest of me posting more frequently I'm going to cut it there.
It's 33 degrees outside, time to go get brown town'd.
Keep riding hard,
Pw.
