Woke up to snow this morning....in fact it's still snowing!

Unless it warms up soon it's going to be a cold swim in Tucelnuit at the 1/2.

Of course it's still snowing! What in the blazes are you doing up at 5:30 in the morning on a Saturday!?!?!?! Go back to bed! Mother Nature is scorning you for being up so early!

I can't believe this weather, thank the heavens I'm not racing this weekend! Or gardening or anything else outdoors!!!

Yes we got a bit here also, pretty much all gone now. But I am doing Sooke tomorrow and that hilly course could get very very nasty if slippery

I hope it's gone by tomorrow
The Sun run zig-zag+dodge fest for the first 1-2km will be a gongshow if it's snowy and slippery still!!

Here's a tip, push down a small kid and just ride him down Georgia...kinda like a snow board.

How'd you do in the TO Lifeguard Games DereK?

Hahah Great tip Chris, I might have to try that one.

The lifeguard games went super well! Our rag-tag team placed 2nd overall in Physical events, and a few of our team mates got selected for the World's team.
Unfortunately I missed out since I got DQed in 2 events (have to keep a 120lb. orange mannekin's face out of the water 100% of the time to NOT get DQed) involving mannekins!

Oh well! I got recruited for Surf lifesaving nationals, and since I surf ALL THE TIME when I'm on the island I should be ok there!

Congrats Derek! And don't worry, orange mannekins (sp?) don't deserve to stay out ALL the time!!
