Qualifying Times are out!!!

And just like that, time has flown by.....it feels like I just got back from Calgary and I am now contemplating returning to finish off this Olympic journey. Since I have been back, everybody has been asking me if I was going to make it but my same response was that I was waiting to see what the qualifying times were so I can make a realistic decision.....now they are out.

I am a few seconds off in each distance but with everyday on ice coaching, I believe that I can make at least one distance, preferably the 1,000m. Having said that, I have quite a few decisions to make now that I know what the times are. Leaving my family again is not a very appealing one although this time it would only be for 5months. Work may be an issue......I got, and get huge support from work but I just don't know if I can take off again for that amount of time, and finally, finances....it would be a huge committment and I would be looking for a major sponsor.

Needless to say, I have to make these decisions within the month of August. I can't believe we are almost finished July.....where did the time go?

Since I have been back, I have been extremely busy...family stuff, work, projects, the pics above show some of that occupied time...... We ran 5kms as a family during the Ottawa marathon weekend and I was so proud of my wife and daughter who pulled it off without stopping once. I built my daughter a 3 story treehouse, which also doubles as my dog house when I am in trouble....this is just a portion of our busy spring and summer. Canada's Wonderland is on the agenda too but not sure when but I have prepped my daughter for the Behemoth.....we'll see.

Anyways, stay tuned for any decisions. Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer too!!

Peace.
