A New Life

I completed my first 7 day shift at Firebag (Fort McMurray) which was followed by 5 more days of training in Fort McMurray. We learned to use the RBI (Risk Based Inspection) program created by Capstone. Essentially it's a way to determine the criticality of each piece of equipment in your operating plane, and how to form inspection plans based on the results.

I tend to have a list of things that I want to accomplish on my days back. The major items for these 7 days include:

-VO2 Max and Lactate Threshold testing at TCR sports
-Bike Fit at TCR Sports
-Returning my library books (exciting life i know!)
-1500m time trail in my new wetsuit.
-Taking photos of doctors for a friend's clinic

Everything else is scheduled if I have time or when I feel like doing it :) I like this lifestyle very much.

The only downside is that I have way too much time by myself. I know a few other triathletes who work shift schedules, but we aren't getting together until the weather warms up and the snow disappears.
speaking of which...I CANNOT wait for spring and summer.

"Calgary Tris for 70.3 Thousand Dollars" has already raised $1079.55 and the race is still 1/2 a year away!
