Race Report – Squamish Triathlon

Keeping perspective in triathlon can be tough sometimes. Withthree sports to try to master, it is rare (maybe even impossible), to be on top of your game withall three at one time.

Race Report – Kelowna Apple (Nationals)

“The route to personal excellence and meaningful self-growth is full of ups and downs; progressions and regressions; great leaps forward, backslides, and plateaus.
