As for training right now Pat is moving right along in fine form keeping the strength and intensity up, and showcased quite a performance this past weekend here in Ottawa. He contested the pole vault where he improved his PB to 4.46m, after throwing another PB in the shot put finally getting over the huge 15m barrier. Finally Pat entered the high jump and concluded it with a 1.86m jump. For full results check out:

So this past weekend I was left to help out with running the pole vault competition and cheer on the rest of the group. Not being able to train fully is quite difficult. All I want to do is jump in workouts with the rest of the group and continue 'proper' training. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be able to slowly add more and more into my workouts.
As for the holidays, they were fantastic! Pat enjoyed some quality family time at the Arbour household, and has been enjoying some quality ODR (outdoor rink) time, which I have yet to experience this year. I cannot wait. All the while I took in the fresh Victoria air. After being away from home for so long it's always nice to go back. Here's a little bit of a taste of what I was missing...
With xmas came lots of goodies. Pat and a couple others in our group, solidified their plans and booked flights to Tucson, AZ to compete at the Jim Click Shootout April 4-5th for their season openers. As for myself, I gained a little friend called GoPro, and together we are going to create awesome videos of training and whatever else we can think of to share with everyone!
Hope everyone is starting the new year healthy and happy (or somewhat at least), and can't wait for things to start rolling once again. Dec duo out!
