Social Media Camp Victoria 2010 http://socialmediacamp.ca/

It's been 24 hours since the conference wrapped up (already!) so rather than spending days on composing a magnum opus about what I took away from the conference, I decided to just bang it out while the thoughts are fresh. I went to the conference expecting to learn about the most effective techniques and latest technologies in social media. And I did. There was much more though: I came away with new friends, contacts, knowledge, inspiration, and a reminder that social media is about people.

Due to circumstances, I did not get the opportunity to pay tribute to my father at the funeral. Since he was so sport-minded, and instilled a passion for sport in me, I thought it fitting to share it here.

This Sunday, June 13, 2010 is the first ever Salt Spring Island Triathlon hosted by the Rainbow Road Pool. I’m excited to be competing for a number of reasons: this is my first ever solo triathlon [Two years ago, I was the swimmer in a relay team at the Squamish Triathlon] and my first event as a SUGOI brand champion. It’s also at ‘home’ so being familiar with the pool and the routes will be a nice luxury. It’s a perfect place to get my feet wet, as it were, to work myself up to an Olympic-distance tri.
