Life Update

Alot has happened since the last time i have blogged, i have been slacking in reporting life!! "Training" has began and is going somewhat good!! tried to race the Ontario Cup #1, and relized that i still have problems with my Chest. been taking care of that all week, and focusing on that when i am training. Raced the O-Cup #2 at Woodnewton, and felt good came in 11th which i normally wouldn't of been happy with any other year, but given that i haven't been training i'm quite happy with the result, and more the fact that my chest felt good and my legs felt good as well.

Here is a bunch of pictures of what has been going on as of lately...

Early Spring Ride

Yesterday was the first ride since, the single-track challenge at Hardwood ski and bike in October. i knew i was out of shape but man i didn't know that i was that out of shape!! I did the Pancake ride with Jeremy, Parker, Tristan, and Jay. the legs felt good for about 3/4 of the ride until heading toward hardwood i cracked and cracked hard. now i don't know if it was a lack of sleep the previous night, or me just being that out of shape (or both) but i have never cracked that hard before. Though it does give me a great starting point for starting training for the season. it looks like this summer will be filled with riding for fun, and focusing on coaching, and making a great transition for the Trek Store Team 2013.

It's all about how you roll with it

So as most of you know my family has just grown by one! we had the arrival of our handsome son Teagan Joseph Wong on Sunday Feb 18th. With this comes something that i have not done in about 4 and half years, changing diapers, hearing cries, and sleepless nights.

Sleepless nights, are where it hurts the most. right now Teagan seems to have his day's and night backwards, which means i'm up with him till 12 or 1 in the morning, and then again at 3 or 4 while mom tries to get some sleep, and then try to get up for work and make it in time for 9 am. Or on the B day's for Trinity school, try to make sure that she is up dressed, lunch is ready, and she's had breakfast to get her to school for 8:45!

So where am i going with this...do i wish that i never had children NOT AT ALL, nothing in this world is better then when you are having a bad day, or get home from work, and your daughter or son give you a big hug, or you get to hold your new born in your arm while they stair at you with out a care in the world.

I have grown so much respect those athletes who have children and are racing at such a high caliber. I know how hard it is to have kids (especially newborns) and try to have time to train, or have energy to train, and have time on your bike.

I give so much credit to my wife Kristen, her support and understand with me being in this sport of cycling is what allows be to keep going, she understand my passion for cycling. she really is the back bone for me being where i am in cycling. i think that any cyclist with children would agree that if they didn't' have such a supporting spouse/or parent to help them they would never be where they are today.

So how do you move forward when life changes, you role with it. you make changes, i've learned over the years not to be scared by change but accept change and adapt to it, and if you do that you will always be a winner.

Starting a Blog

After looking through countless amount of peoples blogs which FYI are very good I.E..
Peter G - http://www.trainwithpeter.com/
Matt P (making good effort!!) http://www.mattpaziuk.com/
Andrew Watson - http://awicycling.blogspot.com/
Adam Morka - http://adammorka.blogspot.com/

It has inspired me to create one of my own, now i know everyone say's that i'm going to update it all the time and whatnot but realistically i know that's not going to happen!! The plan for this Blog is for this to be about Family life, and the world of cycling come summer time. between head coaching for Team Hardwood/Trek. And starting the pilot program for Team Trek Store, life is going to start to get busy really quick.
