Bandage is off, I have 3 steri-strips where they made their incisions. I have anchors securing my shoulder and all I can do is wait and let my body accept the new hardware. It's a boring part of the process to be honest, I'm not allowed to do much movement with my arm, nothing with weight, and basically just doing circles and resting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pretty interesting they can put anchors in my shoulder and only make some small holes... pictures once the strips come off as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4x more weeks until I start loading!

Olympic Distance Triathlon completed! One day befo

Olympic Distance Triathlon completed! One day before my surgery no less and a time of 2:58:14 completing my sub 3 hour goal 🏅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breakdown as follows:
1.5 km swim - 37:55
Transition 1 - 2:57
40 km bike - 1:22:56
Transition 2 - 0:46
10 km run - 53:40
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swimming felt pretty good, I didn't know how much to gas myself knowing that I've never done these distances before. The biking was good too but the route I took ended up having a ton of hills so ultimately the bike was hard. It's also really interesting biking along different road surfaces. Some are fast and some are crazy bumpy and slow, you can really feel the difference! Coming into the final 10k run I actually felt pretty good, doing the first 4 km's in around 21 minutes. Then it started to go downhill, it was getting hotter, I was running in the sun and every kilometer felt harder than the last. My 10th km was faster than 6-9 which was nice but I got a heinous leg cramp in the last 600m and I almost had to power walk those last few minutes. 😰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Olympic distance Triathlon, doing it semi competitively, was a big goal for me and has been for a long time. I'm happy I got it done before my surgery and I'm sure I'll do more in the future!

Another training Triathlon completed! 1:24:12 a personal best 👌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breakdown as follows:
750m swim - 17:25
Transition 1 - 3:12
20km bike - 38:43
Transition 2 - 0:47
5km run - 24:02
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything was faster, including cutting my first Transition time in half. I also didn't dry off after the swim and wore my bathing suit on the bike and swim, just throwing on a top to hold my keys and phone. I could cut more off the first Transition and probably the biking portion too but km curious if my legs would be too gassed for a good 5k split. 🤨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still tons of fun and I might attempt an Olympic distance one before my surgery next week! Olympic distance would double everything...

I'm going under the knife in a week, September 20t

I'm going under the knife in a week, September 20th to be exact. With shoulder dislocation causing a couple of major and minor tears, the most important to fix is my labrum. Although most humans don't get surgery after their "first" dislocation, most aren't also putting this much constant stress on it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I met a great surgeon at University of British Columbia and he'll do a labrum repair by anchoring the labrum back in place and securing it with 3 anchors. It's a laparoscopic surgery so it's 3 small incisions in my shoulder instead of fully opening it. ✂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After the surgery will be when the main recovery will start. My shoulder is already quite strong and being strong going into the surgery is ultimately important, and my recovery should be faster. I don't know when my first one hand dyno catch will be, but I'll do my best to document and share the process with you all! Thanks for following my along my journey, I love all the stories and words of encouragement 🙏

Kranj and Slovenia have a special place in my hear

Kranj and Slovenia have a special place in my heart. After seeing the World Cup visuals come from Koper Slovenia this weekend, I couldn't help but reminisce about Kranj over the last decade. Kranj is that much more special because it is there that I achieved my first World Cup victory, in lead, back in 2011. Over the last decade I picked up another few medals in that gymnasium and celebrated with my friends from all over the world as it was usually the season ender. 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I met some amazing people at those events, got to see my friends, and of course order a pizza I'd never finish from "Buf". 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you Kranj, thank you to the organizers, it was a tight venue but it always felt special. It was also there that I met a Canadian IOC member back in 2015 while our was sport was being vetted for the 2020 Olympic Games. As former Athlete President, he wanted me to show him the athlete side. The isolation, the competitors, and a glimpse of what we saw. It was an honor showing him around, I also made finals and brought home a silver medal. 🥈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well done everyone in Koper this weekend, we had two Canadians in semis (@oscarzzworld and @alannah_yip ) and a special congrats to @lukapotocar and Ai Mori for their first World Cup victories 🥇🏆

With my shoulder recovering but unable to climb mu

With my shoulder recovering but unable to climb much, I've started hitting some triathlon distances for cross training. 👻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A triathlon has 3 legs, swim, bike, then run, in that order. The distance in different triathlons vary and this is a "sprint distance" triathlon. An Olymlic Triathlon by contrast is double each one of these legs! Then we get into half Ironman and Ironman, but let's just start here... 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have much gear, I'm a slow runner, but I like challenging myself and beating my own personal bests! What's your times for sprint distance? Any tips? 📢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For my stats:
750m swim --> 18:14
Transition 1 --> 7:38
20k bike -------> 40:16
Transition 2 --> 1:04
5k run ----------> 25:16

Luckily it was a sit start and no one was seriously hurt, just my ego 😛

My lifelong goal of competing at the Olympics came

My lifelong goal of competing at the Olympics came true a year ago, in a sport I fell in love with at age 10.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 were delayed by a year causing havoc with training but in the end we managed to go under some pretty crazy conditions 🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games only 2 years away, the next 24 months will be CRAZY! Who will be a new Olympian this year?

After seeing the blink at 6 challenge, I thought of converting it into something more sport specific... 🧗‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because you can't stop the timer from the bottom, you're actually seeing the "reaction time" timer but it's basically the same thing 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where are my speed climbers at, who's gonna hit 6.00x? And for transparency, this was my 3rd try, and first try filming 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guess I could pass the torch to some athletes: @johnbrosler @rezaalipour.1 @ludovicofossali @kyra_condie @marcin.dzienski @ola_miroslaw @_et_han @michael_f.h @climbing_emma @lesfreresmawemofficiel @jakob.schubert @kiromalk @veddriq⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
