My season opened last Saturday in Walnut, California. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and conditions were great. I ran 2:03.91 and placed second in my heat. Unfortunately, I got stuck in lane two for most of the race; however, those are things you can't control and sometimes they happen. Its a part of racing that you have to be prepared for. Overall, I thought it was a good opener, a lot of things to learn from it (as there is with every race) and I'm really looking forward to my next two competitions coming up. Now its time to get back into hard training and prepare for the rest of the season.
I've attached below the link to my race.
And a HUGE THANK YOU to all my sponsors for all of your support. These opportunities that I'm presented with wouldn't be possible with your help.

Quest for London 2012 Starts April 21st
On April 21st, I will be opening up my 2012 outdoor season in Walnut, California at the Mt. Sac Relays. I will be competing in the Olympic Development section, and in order to be considered for this section I must have proved fitness/time by my recent IAAF World rankings. I'm really looking forward to this opener, the race includes other Canadians that I will be competing against in June at our Nationals in Calgary.
After Mt. Sac, I will be competing in two high level international meets in the Cayman Islands and in Puerto Rico. This trip will allow some exposure to top ranked athletes in the country. These are races to get out there, have fun, and perform well.
As of now, with my indoor performance back in March of 2:02.09, I'm only 69/100ths of a second short of the Olympic B standard of 2:01.30. These upcoming races will provide numerous opportunities to achieve that standard.
As well, two weeks ago I attended the Olympic Development Training Camp in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was a positive experience and I took away a lot of new things from this camp. We had access to our National team coaches, the best ancillary support, and a nutritionist; all of which I gathered some valuable information and plan to be using this season.
