Soooo…. we won! Paula Findlay (the main girl keeping me busy between surf sessions in Australia the last month) took first place in the inaugural International Triathlon Union World Championship Series Race here in Sydney. Our other Canadian racers did very well, even after a NASCAR-worthy crash. Lauren Campbell placed 10th, Cathy Trembley 28th, and Kirsten Sweetland DNF due to bike issues from the crash. Our first race, the Mooloolaba World Cup two weeks ago, turned out to be just a warm-up for the much bigger deal WCS race. Here’s a couple of photos from today’s Sydney race, more to come when I get home and can transfer my camera photos.
Looking forward to getting home and back in the swing of things! I am home on Tuesday and back at work Wednesday–lots of space on the schedule so email me ASAP for an appointment. G’Day!
