Last little while

So it has been a while since the last update but there is a lot to catch up on. After coming home from PATCO some athletes became sick from something in the water that they swam in but on Tuesday night there was another duathlon at Bird’s Hill which Trevor, Shayna, Stevie and Riley did. It was pretty windy again but it was still a good race. The rest of the week was fairly good with some solid training and working on getting everyone back to full strength. Early this week all the juniors ran a 5 km and congratulations to Mark, Riley, and Marita who all set new personal bests and many others who were very close to doing so. Stevie, Shayna and Roseria did the final duathlon of the series on Tuesday. Good Job to Stevie and Riley who both won the series overall through the 4 races, as well they both move up to 3rd on Gary’s All Time Top Ten Lists for the duathlon results.

Finally on Thursday Mark, Josh, Riley, Stevie, Shayna, Rachael and Roseria did a criterium bike race at Assiniboine Park. It was the first crit race for almost everyone so we didn’t really know what to expect. Shayna and Roseria raced in Cat 5, while everyone else raced Cat 4. Cat 5 went well and in Cat 4 everyone was doing very well for almost the whole race but on the last lap there were a few crashes, and unfortunately Josh went down in the very last corner, and other athletes were very close but managed to get to the finish safely.

On Saturday and Tuesday we went out to Birds Hill to get in the water and workout on the race course for next Sunday's Junior Series Race. Tuesday was sort of interesting with some crazy thunderstorms interrupting the end of our workout.

Here are some pictures from the crit:
