A word from the Immigrants....

Unbelievably it is 6 months today since we collapsed out of the plane from Scotland and landed on Canadian soil.
The time has flown by and it has certainly been a bit of a roller-coaster since we left Glasgow last October.
It was a pretty emotional departure from the UK and we were both shattered, exhausted and sad to be leaving our friends. Fortunately it does feel like people are not too far away through the medium of Facebook and Skype and we have a lot of exciting visits scheduled from our pale, wind swept Clan over the next few months.
Although we arrived in October we deliberately waited to get the business going properly until January this year. We are so grateful to all the wonderful people we have met since we got started who have had the faith to use our services, even though they didn't have the foggiest idea who we were!!
Since January we have getting busy. We set ourselves up in our base at Bayview Physio in Aurora where we have our Retul Bike Fitting Studio. It is also from here that we have been running Indoor Spin Classes through the winter. We have been busy coaching triathlon clients in both the Uk and in Canada, running regular Video Swim Analysis Clinics, Swim Stroke Correction Clinics & now the Sunday Squad Swims are a regular feature too. Not bad so far and lots more to come!!
We have also managed to endure our first Canadian winter (our cold weather gear arrived off the boat just in time). The thing we are very excited about is swimming, biking & running outside through the summer in the hopefully gorgeous weather. This will be one of the biggest differences for us as Scotlands summer generally only lasts for a week, and even then you only know it is summer because the rain is warmer.
Although the original Athelite Triathlon Shop no longer exists in the Uk it is great to see Athelite Triathlon Club still going strong under the watchful eye of  a new committee and we watch proudly from a distance as they take on their new challenges this year.

Anyway, enough of this as it is starting to sound like the Queens Christmas Speech.

So thank you everyone again for all your support so far, from both sides of the pond and...

Bring on the next 6 months!!!
