Busy Race Weekend

July 24 and 25th was busy in the Tri world. Many Team CA athletes were busy reaching their goals. Brandi did her 2nd race ever and it was the Long Course distance in Muskoka...and she kicked butt!! Genevieve did her first Ironman in Lake Placid!! Watch for her race report on this blog. John rocked the Long course and did awesome...he is almost ready for Ironman Canada in 5 weeks. Margot did the Bala Falls race..its a tough one and she did an amazing job! Many of my first timers have been gearing up for the Barrie Tri which is now sold out!

Barrie Examiner

Two of my athletes are off to a 70.3 race in Hawaii....ahhh. Sounds great! I am expecting my boy Kevin to come home with a qualification for the 70.3 championships. But before they leave, we were interviewed by the local paper, the Barrie Examiner. Hopefully, yours truly will have a mention. No picture yet, that may come for the follow up article. So look for it!

Inspiration

"'I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in a maze of mediocrity. I won't give up shut up, let up, or slow up'

'In preparing elite training programs we will not underestimate the adaptive abilities of the human body'"

Paperwork!

Phew! The Barrie TC sanctioning paperwork is off the OAT. It took a long time to get it together but with the help of a few key people, we got our our routes done. In about 3 weeks we will be ready to kick butt against the other clubs in Ontario. We are growing strong in our membership numbers and I am really excited about what is to come.
Thanks Ted, Gary, Jamie and all the extra work from Theo! Good job!
