I realize that this is only the beginning of my journey, and I have many things to learn and experience. I do not want to spill the beans all in one post but I will give you a brief overview of what this blogs intentions are:
- To track my progress and inform followers of my next endeavor
- Reviews of literature and the values it has towards triathletes
- Personal experiences in both training and racing
This is a very short list but I assure it shall grow.
NOW .... a little bit about myself. My name is Nicholas Ravanelli and I am entering my 3rd year at the University of Ottawa. My program: Bachelors of Science with a specialization in Human Kinetics. My future goal with such a sports oriented program? training endurance athletes (my dream is Olympians but I can compromise). I love what I do and I love to learn about how the body functions during exercise, it is my passion and I wish to share it with anyone else willing to listen.
As of now, I have completed 3 runs through Somersault Events. They are the local race events organizers and host races ranging from 1km-Marathon, Sprint/Olympic/Long triathlons, duathlons, 113's and 226's. I have had much success in my 3 races (5km Place D'Orleans 2011 - 4th, 8km Colonel By Classic 2011- 6th, & 5km Britannia Beach 2011 - 2nd). This has been my first year competing, but I have been running since I was in high school as a hobby. I loved the feeling of running and the sense of liberation from the real world. I was able to sort out my day and many problems which arose while running. I loved it and could never wait to run again.
I am still in the works of piecing together this blog, but I love to share my passion of sports. Enjoy
