  • Comments: Big city event. The start was slightly delayed due to boats in the way. The event is all flat, no hills. Being in a city, there are lots of turns and needles on the bike. The organisation is huge, lots of volunteers everywhere who encouraged and guided us.

  • Comments: I ended up 2nd, first in Province so I clinched the Quebec cup for my AG. Happy with that. I applied for a spot for World's but the rules are very ambiguous and contradictory. By provincial rules I get a spot. By Federal rules I may not. We will see.

  • Comments: Was refused access to the post-race meal as I was not carrying my coupon. It was in the bag but it was too much hassle to go and get it from the transition area as there were some crossing along the race track to get from the finish area to the transition area. So I had a few sport drinks and chocolate bars from the kids. Best part of the day was that my wife and kids showed up despite heavy rain to encourage me. It was a AWESOME feeling to have them around cheering up for me and definitly the BEST part of the race.
