Summer Registration

Hi everyone, I hope the summer comes soon so it will stop feeling like it is fall and that there is in fact a race season ahead.

An important announcement to make regarding the registration process. I will no longer be handling registrations and administrative duties for the Tri Club. These duties are being passed on to Jenn Mireau who was one of the original founding members of our club a few years back. As we transition these duties I will still be helping Jenn in some of the processes and will always be willing to answer questions related to the training side of things.

My role is moving into more of a technical advisor role to the coaching team, focusing on coach mentorship, training information gathering and implementation into our programs and coaching methods, and of course an increased involvement in customized coaching and testing services. The organization has deemed triathlon a priority program/service and as such the needs to run such a department are expanding and hence the need for delegating various roles in order to best build this business unit.

We are currently planning the Fall and winter line up of programs for both ETS and Tri Club and we have some exciting changes happening. The details will be released at a later date as we get closer to the fall registration period. Heck we still have a race season to attend to.

Wasa Lake Triathlon is upcoming and it would be great to see a big club turnout. I would like to enter in a team or two for the Club competition but need to know who is confirmed for the OLYMPIC distance. We will have Grant Burwash on our team so we have a great head start! Derek Campbell is also going and has recently finished 17th place overall at Oliver despite a 5min penalty. Curtis McCall will also be racing so that gives us a strong male contingent. We need some women racers too so please let me know ASAP. Of course we will need a longer list of Club members in the Olympic distance race in case someone dnf’s like I did last year (due to a crank arm falling off).
