  • Comments: Once again HSBC and MultisportCanada put on a great event. Lakeside was the best races I attended this year. I love how the transiton area is located so close to the swim bike and run courses. Very compact but well organized site. The volunteers were very good. The awards were done very well also. Didn't have to wait long for results.

  • Comments: This is a very satisfying race for me, and not just because I won. The last few months have been tough, getting injured so seriously and not knowing when, or even if, I'll recover. I was in denial at first, then angry, then sad. What's the point of training, I had kept asking myself. Somehow I convinced myself to shoot for one little tri before the end of the season, not win, just to complete, even though this is a hugh step down from competing at the Worlds just 3 mth ago. When I got back in the pool last month, I couldn't even lift my arm out of the water. So I was ecstatic to complete the swim today, even though this was easily the slowest swim ever in my life. And to come through with a first place finish - a small race, but a hugh victory as I finally stopped feeling sorry for myself. Perhaps this win will keep me motivated through the winter into next season as I continue on this long road to recovery.

  • Comments: Race was fun. The event was well organized, however the km markings on the run were horribly placed. One km my split time was 6 min/km the next km my split time was 4 m/km! Great warm up for the season though.
