2018: Day 11 Coffee and cycling go hand in hand – just like PB&J, fish & chips, and Scooby Doo & Shaggy. On their own, they are good, but simply magical together. Last year was a year of change for a lot of people. Sometimes things that happen in your life that make you realize … [Read more…]
2017: Day 7 Every year there is usually one or two signature races for our tri club. It’s usually Whistler or Victoria, or maybe even somewhere down in the US like St. George’s. This year, it was Iceland. WTF? That’s what happens when one person signs up and starts a tidal wave of excitement… This … [Read more…]
2017: Day 2 Goodbyes suck. That’s why I’m going to keep this short. 5 years ago I met a wonderful group of people who pushed me, challenged me, and some days you beat the living crap out of me). But you made me a much stronger person. It’s been an honour sweating with you, cursing … [Read more…]
2016: Day 7 Today we celebrate Robbie J. Really, you could argue that we should celebrate him every day, but let’s start small and see if there’s an appetite for more. I joined the Steveston Athletic Association (SAA) board this year as a Director at Large. I figured it was an easy way to get … [Read more…]
2016: Day 6 For the third straight year I was quite fortunate to be part of relay team at Challenge Penticton. My team mates Sarah and Tammi had all completed iron distance races in July so this race was just for giggles. We promised not to take it too seriously. As with the other relays, it was just a … [Read more…]

At the time, she had a marathon under her belt as well as two sprint distance triathlons. She had just signed up for Ironman which … [Read more…]
2016: Day 2 In 2016, we got to know Stelvis. And the story goes a little something like this. About 6 years ago I was having a ‘life goals lunch’ with a long-time friend and colleague, Stacey. Life goals range from personal objectives to career objectives. Goal setting is a habit of successful people and … [Read more…]
2015: Day 13 Today I pay tribute to the members of my excellent relay team at Challenge Penticton – Joanne and Pam. We came up with the name “Slower Than Expected” mainly because Joanne and I were in ‘off years’ in training and honestly didn’t know what to expect come race day. Admittedly, I felt bad … [Read more…]
2015: Day 8 Today we tell a tale of controversy and look for answers to the question “what constitutes a binding agreement?” Canadian Law states “An oral or written agreement between two or more parties which is enforceable by law. In order to be valid, a contract requires an offer, an acceptance of that offer … [Read more…]
Continuing with our tradition of celebrating people and events this past year, Day 5 of our 12 Days of Drinking we celebrate a rather remarkable achievement by local hero (and legend in the making) Jeff Symonds. What he did in Kona was our pick for top triathlon story in 2015. For those unfamiliar with the sport, … [Read more…]
