Happy new year to all!
It's hard to grasp the fact 2009 has come and gone so quickly...not to mention the fact it's the end of a decade! It seems such a short time ago that "Simon said gold" and took the top podium spot during triathlon's debut at the Sydney Olympics. Since then, Canadians and the world have seen some huge newsmakers: natural disasters such as the earthquakes in China and hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, the pandemic scares from SARS and the swine flu, the global financial crisis of the recent past, and history will never forget the World Trade Center disaster of 9/11 and the fallout offensives into Iraq and Afghanistan.
While all of this was happening around us, we continued to live in a world governed by family commitments, work obligations, and a structured workout schedule that hopefully allowed you personally to achieve your desired results whether that was to swim your first lap in a pool, lose 10 pounds, or win a triathlon for your age group. We are very fortunate to have the disposable income and the free time to spend cultivating a healthy lifestyle. As we transition from one decade to the next, we at TriNB want to wish you all the best with your goals and aspirations. There are sure to be challenges along the way but that is what makes life interesting and where your dedication to a healthy lifestyle keeps you on track.
Best wishes for a successful 2010 and for the decade to come.
Until next time, train safely and have fun. |
