It’s Gold for Kevin at the 2017 Jack Shea Sprints in Lake Placid
Tis the season to train :)
Went to San Antonio, Texas for Blind golfing at the USA Blind Championships. It was a great experience golfing with the best Blind golfers. I came 2nd overall low net. I was very pleased with my play. I know what I need to work on to improve my game.
For the next 4 months I will be training at the Milton Indoor Velodrome on the tandem bike to focus on three events leading to the Canadian Championships at the end of March.
I will also be speed skating in Lake Placid in January and getting ready for Worlds in Fort St. John, BC in the beginning of March.
Until then, wishing you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season.
