I know it's a bit belated, but need to do a quick brag for the rock star athletes I'm coaching right now and their recent accomplishments.

First, , who took up triathlon only this spring, and is now your national olympic aqua bike bronze medalist. Overcoming short-term and long-term injury to throw down a dominating performance at Olympic aquabike

Next, to Shawn Giles, who casually dropped a 30km run during a half marathon training block to support the great cause. Watch out for him on leaderboards at the fall colours half marathon and half as those times come tumbling down. Great work balancing a busy lifestyle full of community activism with very hard training

Finally, , who displayed The wisdom that many experienced athletes lack... The wisdom to adjust a race schedule to fit their other commitments and busy lifestyle. Congratulations for the big PR at lakeside Sprint. Let's rip it at the Toronto half!
