70.3 World Championships Las Vegas 2011
Congratulations to ETS coached athletes Jeremy Broughton and Jim Fry for completing the 70.3 World Championships event on September 11 2011 in the new race location of Las Vegas.
Jim finished 3rd place in his division despite having had a set back the past month and a half due to a serious foot injury. Jim will next be competing in Kona at the Ironman World Championships on October 8th. Good luck Jim!
Jeremy finished 89th in his division and posted a respectable 5:02:25! I am thrilled for Jeremy's accomplishments this season as he has met each of his racing objectives despite juggling a travel intensive work schedule and family responsibilities. He has been a great athlete to work with and motivates me to keep training and not lose sight of the big picture. Congrats Jer and thanks for being a great person to work with!

“The Deadly Sins of Triathlon – 2011 Season Celebration”
In celebration of the 2011 Triathlon season coming to a close, Cathy and Hillary are hosting a get together prior to the fall training season. We would like you to come join us and celebrate whatever successes and triumphs came your way on the bike, run and in the pool as well as indulge in those things you may have given up for the tri season.
We are hosting a two-part get together on Saturday, September 17th. The first is a potluck of those items you-dare-not-touch during tri season and then we are going to gather at the Rose and Crown to celebrate with a drink or two and some live music. Spouses and significant others are more than welcome.
Potluck: 6:00-8:00PM
Five West, Phase 2, 910-5th Ave SW
Drinks to Follow: 8:30PM
Rose & Crown, 17th Ave & 4th St SW
Please RSVP to Hillary (hhigigns@brookfield.com) or Cathy (cathy_stanford@hotmail.com) prior to Monday the 12th so we know who to expect. We hope to see you next Saturday for all or part of the evening!

September 17 2011 No Drop Group Ride
I have planned a group training ride for Saturday September 17th 2011 in the beautiful rolling region of south Calgary. We will ride the famous “Road to Nepal”, local HWYs and back-roads in pursuit of short rollers and hills! Road bikes are encouraged but triathlon bikes will be welcome.
This is a no drop-ride however let’s not plan to be out there all day! This means it is a no hammer day and we will regroup many times and finish together.
Total distance is roughly 71km. Planned route is below;
View Larger Map
Please have adequate food and hydration with you along with spare tubes, pump, tools and clothing appropriate for the weather that day.
We will meet in the grassy parking area at 37th St SW and Spruce Meadows Trail SE.
Time: We will begin at 9:30am.
Please RSVP to Jack at jvandyk@talismancentre.com by September 14 2011. If there is not enough interst the ride will be cancelled.
I will post a confirmation on this blog that we are either riding or not riding by 5pm September 15 2011 so you can make alternative plans if need be.
Let's get out and ride folks!
