2015: Day 16 and the FINAL day of our 12 DOD! This one is a bit unusual, so please bear with me. As good as 2015 was (and it was a great year), it also seemed to be a year of complex problems. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that complex problems require … [Read more…]
2015: Day 15 As many of you know, I’ve suffered from back pain for years, starting from when our relatively new bed started sagging in the middle <insert joke here>. The back pain has only gotten worse as my cycling has increased. I’ve seen many medical professionals without much success, but I keep trying because … [Read more…]
2015: Day 14 “One Team One Dream” in honour of my tribe at Annex Consulting Group. I can’t say there’s any one particular story that stands out this past year but what I’ll remember most about 2015 was the amount of change and the major accomplishments delivered by this strong team. None of it was … [Read more…]
2015: Day 13 Today I pay tribute to the members of my excellent relay team at Challenge Penticton – Joanne and Pam. We came up with the name “Slower Than Expected” mainly because Joanne and I were in ‘off years’ in training and honestly didn’t know what to expect come race day. Admittedly, I felt bad … [Read more…]
2015: Day 12 After nearly half a century I’m getting pretty darn good at putting my foot in my mouth. Without getting into details, let’s just say I’ve been trying to get back in Tiffany’s good books after carelessly neglecting to acknowledge her in a comment back in July. She was quite correct to shoot back … [Read more…]
2015: Day 11 Usually we pick the event or memory, and then craft a drink around it, but not this one. My cousin Andrea suggested I make this drink for the 12DOD and I immediately thought it reminded me of my trip to Alaska in May. And of course you don’t say no to a pregnant lady … [Read more…]
2015: Day 10 They say it takes a village to raise a child. I believe that. In fact, I believe it takes a village of learning to aspire to new levels and to continue growing whether it be athletics or personal development. When I look back at the past year, I have nothing but smiles … [Read more…]
2015: Day 9 Day 9 of the 12DOD remembers some of the epic rides we had this year. Not epic because we had a great ride though. Epic because of the rain!!! We had one of our first training rides this year in Whistler in mid-May. I was super excited because this was the first … [Read more…]
2015: Day 8 Today we tell a tale of controversy and look for answers to the question “what constitutes a binding agreement?” Canadian Law states “An oral or written agreement between two or more parties which is enforceable by law. In order to be valid, a contract requires an offer, an acceptance of that offer … [Read more…]
2015: Day 7 For at least the last couple of years (that we know about), Tammi has graciously opened up her garage on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings for her tri club friends to spin in the winter. Although after today’s spin, we considered naming the drink “The Uterus Buster”… things that happen when Joel leads the set… Some … [Read more…]
