Well its been along time since we updated this but there wasn't very much going on in our Pre-Base period, but now as things are picking up there is more to tell about.
First off congratulations to our head coach Gary Pallett who was named Coaching Manitoba Coach of the Month for September. There is a video about Gary's coaching and our program here.
As well this year has been getting off to a good start for the program. There are a number of new athletes joining our program this year so welcome to Kaitlyn, Janessa, Hannah, Ashlyn, Tyler, Ben, Charles, Riley U., and Darian.
Manitoba High School Cross Country provincials took place last Wednesday and a number of MNTC team members took part. In the Junior Varsity Girls two new athletes took part and Janessa finished in 26th place and Kaitlyn in 38th. In Varsity boys Charles was the first MNTC athlete running into 6th, Riley MacCharles was 7th, Riley Unger around 11th, and Ben 20th. (note: the varsity boys results were messed up so these are what we think is right). New Athlete Tyler Mislawchuk ran a very strong race to win the Junior Varsity boys provincial championships. Tyler ran over 30 second ahead of the 2nd place finisher and ran a time which was very close to the Varsity Boys winner.
This week almost all of MNTC will be doing lab tests on the bike as we start into our base training period. Also some people are running age-class provincials on Saturday the 31st.
The Manitoba National Triathlon Centre started operations in October of 2000 with a goal of developing athletes to compete nationally and internationally. The program currently works with the Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba, Sport Manitoba, Triathlon Manitoba and Triathlon Canada. The structure of the centre consists of the head coach (Gary Pallett) who coordinates the program and who works with the Integrated Support Team to assist with athlete development.
