What Tdisc means to me by The Captain

Todays Scratches: The admiral (Parenting)
Tdiscpye (H1N1 Vaccine)

Yesterday was a day full of shots. I got one in each shoulder. Thinking nothing of it I just continued on with my regular routine. So I went to bed like usual...Great time...just a little after 10. 2 a.m rolls around and i'm feeling really sore in my right shoulder. So I got up and moved it around...I could hardly lift my arm above my shoulder. First thought "I can't swim." Frig! so as I was laying there in my bed I started going through my swimming stroke....couldn't do it. So I text the coach to let him know. 6 am rolls around and still nothing from the coach. So I call...still nothing. Not wanting to leave the boys hanging I sat on the side of my bed and waited for a response. Finally I touched base with the coach aroun 6:20am, back to bed I went.

Yesterday was a nightmare on the legs. This years camp has really kicked into a tougher gear. Yesterday we did some tough sprints followed byEverything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler. - Albert Einstein legs, legs, and more legs at the ttf.

Tdisc means a lot to us. Today I have the honour of presenting to the fans an article written by our Captain that featured in yesterday's Toronto Sun.

Last September, I joined a group called Team Discovery. I joined because it seemed like a good way to get in shape and have some fun with some great athletes through the tough winter months. I never really knew if we would race or do a triathlon, but I was going along for the ride.

As time went on and training stayed constant, we seen guys come and go but the big four always stuck it out. I admit if I was not living with the Admiral I would not be on this team. If I was behind schedule in waking up, (happened a lot) Admiral would pop his head in and say you coming to Greggy? and I would respond yep and off we would go. I know that there was a lot of this going on at the MacPhee household because the Coach and blog master shared a home.

When this team started, I was working, going to school, coaching and had a pretty demanding social life. Last year before Tdisc I never thought I would wake up at 6:00am and exercise? that soon changed, I NEVER thought I would go to bed before 10:00pm??? that soon changed, I never thought that a workout would become more important than a night out partying, very quickly changed.

For me 2010 is a big year. I have changed my sleeping habits, social life, diet, (big time) and put everything towards fitness. Tdisc has been a major impact on my life, I eat healthier, exercise twice a day, rarely drink or go to the bars, and always feel I can push myself more. I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of all my hard work when it comes to the triathlon season. This is the year I get to see the benefits of my sacrifices.

Tdisc really does change lives.....
