I think the stress level of the sprints next week will feel pretty relax

« The last few days have been a little stressful to say the least.

A couple days ago, an upset stomach forced me to take a bit of rest and just relax in my room here in Colombia. After a few hours of killing the time I decided to start packing my bags for our trip to Argentina and the Vuelta A San Juan.

Those who know me well are probably surprised as my usual "early" packing is about 2 h before leaving! As I was packing, I noticed my passport wasn't in it's usual secret pocket. Figured it was probably somewhere else in my "bordel". Finished packing everything, still no passport. Search the room for the 10x with my wife Catherine, still no passport. So there I was, 36 hours before our flight to the Vuelta A San Juan, with a passport MIA.

Once we were sure that it was gone/lost, we rushed for the Canadian Embassy in Bogota to figure out the next step. The people there made the impossible happen and I was able to get a passport just in time to fly with the Israel Cycling Academy boys to Argentina.

Now I think the stress level of the sprints next week will feel pretty relax. Let's start this season !
