Pic Spocket

Just back from a long weekend completely off the grid - no internet, no emails, no computers and no phone - at the beach in Ipperwash in the Grand Bend area with Corinne and Newton. We refer to these as ‘Newton’s vacation’ since we bring him along for the ride. We stay in a very simple motel in the area over there, that accepts dogs.

It was quite relaxing especially since training is still VERY light in my case. I am still nursing a pain issue in my right knee that occured after my last race. Every morning, we take breakfast as ‘take-out’ and head out to the beach in Ipperwash. Hard to get a better parking spot…

Quite nice actually to have all your stuff so close hehe

The first 2 days, there was a lot of waves, but that did not keep Newton from having the time of his life down there. He just loves water, and fetching the ball. Put these 2 things toguether, and he’s having a blast!

We also went for a stroll in downtown Grand Bend to have a bite on the Saturday afternoon, but finding a parking spot over there is kind of a nightmare. After that, we headed to the ‘dog beach’ at the ‘Pinery Provincial Park’ for some more beach time. I actually did a 30 minute training swim covering roughly 1500 m parallel to the beach (no pics).

The weather was not as nice on Sunday, but we still enjoyed the beach before driving back to Windsor. Back to work tomorrow morning!

Here is the link to the photo album. Take time to browse it, there are a few really good ones of Newton.
