Last weekend athletes from MNTC were racing all over the place. We had Tyler, Unger, Charles, Riley M and Janessa racing in PATCO. Stevie and Sarah racing down in San Francisco and a few of the younger athletes (Darian, Ashlyn, & Madison) made there way down to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the youth event at the Lifetime Fitness triathlon. Here is a link to some results from the weekend.
Most of MNTC met up in Kamloops, BC in between the races last weekend and the race in Penticton this weekend. We picked Kamloops because it will be the site of the Western Canada Summer Games triathlon in a few weeks. It was a very beautiful place to spend a few days and do some training. We were staying at Thompson Rivers University and have been swimming at a very nice pool near by. We checked out the site for the races at WCSG and it looks like it will be a interesting and challenging race.
Now we have moved down to Penticton which is the site of the race this weekend. There are 2 girls and 5 guys taking part. The race has a chilly swim in Lake Okanagan, a 8-loop 20km bike along the lake and a 5-loop 5km run. Briefing and relaxing is on the schedule for the rest of the day and then tomorrow the girls race at 10 and the guys at 11:15.
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.
