Silver's still a great colour

First and foremost, thank you all for the kind messages and thoughts throughout the entire weekend.  I was on a mission and I still believe I succeeded.  Yes, the colour of medal isn't exactly what I was after, but I still ran a great race.  Anyone who knows me, knows I gave it all in the race.  I set myself up for the win as best as I could.  Silver at the Canadian Championship is a great accomplishment, and I couldn't be happier having it around my neck.  There was great competition in my race and I ran right through the line. So thank you all.

A special thanks to my dad for making the trip out to Calgary to watch the race.  He's flown all over North America to watch a race that is less than 2minutes.  

Thanks to Greg and Frankie (Leanna's parents), Kim and Danny, Ryan, Cathy and Abigail for all coming out and giving me a cheering section.

The stressful part is over.  To make the World Championship team, part of the criteria is to come top 3 at Nationals.  Canadian Championships is all about tactics; anyone who watched my race can see that.  Heats and finals are some of the hardest things to do because it's all about timing and patience. You have a group of guys in a race who can all run similar times, so it's hard to outrun them.  Now it's all about running fast.  It's all about time now.  Now I just have to "Nut-up or shut-up".  

BC here I come, it's time to roll out!!!
