Hey everyone! well no one yet! as will ferrel says to his wife in the movie old school 'WERE STREAKING. DOWN THROUGH THE QUADS & INTO THE GYMNASIUM... EVERYONES DOING IT!!
Haha. Well here I am with my own blog.
My name is Jevon Almond & I plan to use this blog to provide updates to whoever wants them & future inspiration for myself.
The main updates on my blog are going to be primarily regarding the sport of Triathlon. It's funny because when I was younger I would have never imagined being into this gruelling sport. I played hockey for 10 years & began working ("stepping into that real world")
Since getting into the sport of triathlon, my passion is beginning to shine through in a big way.
Now part of me is potentially considering taking on this sport full time.
Triathlon? what the hell is that? Well for those of you who know what it is that's awesome! The reasoning behind the naming of this blog "thesponge" is simple. It's the summary of my ambitious nature as a triathlete. It's amazing how dedicated my mind & body are becoming towards this sport. Watching Simon whitfield win olympic gold, or Peter Reid winning his 1st, 2nd or 3rd ironman world championship title are truly inspiring to see. I know i'm not even close to that level & at this point only aspire to be, but every time I watch glory be given to a triathlete, I soak it up & put it inside me. I don't know where it's being all stored yet, but I am confident it will reveal itself in the future.
My training as a triathlete is going quite well & I am finally starting to understand my body. Currently jevro is entering the base training stage after 4 races in 2008.
Vancouver world championships, the Sylvan lake 1/2 ironman, & Nationals in Kelowna were great experiences for 2008. These races have shown me things to improve on while I gear up for the next year of racing.
The greatest part of triathlon is when your mind perceives the pain your body is going through as pleasure.
