Hexathlon??


Six years in the making I finished my sixth UBC Triathlon. My very first triathlon was the UBC Triathlon in 2001 and my last, for now. I have not missed a year ever since 2001, 2002 2003, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006; I have all the t-shirts to prove it!

This year was different from all the other years because I hardly trained at all. I swam for the first time this year last Wednesday and I put my race bike together the night before the race. I had not ridden it since the Triathlon World Championships in Hawaii last October. I think my lack of effort was very evident in my race time however I would have to say it was my most relaxed race ever. I strongly believe you get out what you put in to something and since I put nothing into training, except race walking which did not help much, I was happy to finish and had lots of fun seeing people from last summers race season.

Taking life a little less serious for once is doing me some good, finally I am focusing more time I use to spend training studying and I am making some waves in my school work for once.

Wow, I never would have thought you've been doing triathalons for 6 years!... and So, how did you place??!! (or are you dodging that question?:p)

I certainly didn't know that you've been triathalon for 6 years. Intersting stuff.

We found your time on the UBC Triathlon page... that's a lot better than what I can do.
