Triathlon Team X Killer Kelowna Training Camp

You probably know by now I am a triathlete and spend most my free time and energy training. I average about 16-18 hours of training per week, managing to cycle well in excess of 300km per week. If you are anything like me you probably don't know much about triathlons(or at least I didn't before I started competing)...so here are some facts on the multisport.

All next week I will be training in Kelowna and surrounding areas with some Team X athletes from Victoria as we prepare for the National Championships.
