Subject: Kelownagirl's first ever triathlon!

She'll probably smack me for this but this weekend is Kelownagirl's first ever triathlon. If you've read her blog you'll see how much time and preparation she's put into it. It's quite inspiration to read about the progress she's made since deciding to take on an active life style and then sign up for a tri.

Let's give her a big woo hoo for her triathlon debut in the Kelowna Apple sprint tri this Sun.

Way to go Barb!

Blushing like crazy here.... And sending you a virtual hug instead of a smack. LOL...

And gee thanks for the extra pressure, Paul! I can't DNF now.

You are seriously impressive.  Good job KG.

 I did the Apple Try-a-Tri in '06 for my first race.  I did it again last year for comparison.  They do a good job there. 

 

PS - I miss Kelowna...it's a great place to live.  I grew up there but have been on the Coast for over 10 years now (also great here)...but K will always be home.  Enjoy it!

I grew up in Richmond but have lived in Kelowna since the mid 80's. I love it it here and have no intention of leaving. (PS We have a chocolate too - "Gabe".


Thanks for the support everyone!

Looks like I'll be doing the swim without a wetsuit. Now I'm busy rethinking my race plan. If you knew me (and my swimming ability or lack thereof), you'd probably be worried right now, but I went down to the beach and swam in my tri suit today and I was totally fine. It's all good!

Whoo hoo, just got an email saying I qualify for Worlds (Gold Coast Australia, 2009). Clearly they let anyone in. Anyone got $10 grand they could lend me?
