This is an amazing video/story of a disabled individual who makes it through triathlons and marathons with his father. It is unreal!!!  http://cjcphoto.com/can/

Calgary hosted the Provincial Championships this year and finished the season with the most technical race of the year.  The Elite men started at 1:00.  The 3 races before my start and the warm temperature made for a really slipperly and muddy course.  There were so many tight turns with ice and mud that for every lap I did I crashed at least once.  There were crashes all over the course.  People crashing in front of me, behind me, and just about on every section of the course except for on the pavement.  I was pleased with how I raced.  I think I finished somewhere in the middle of pack.  The technical course did not suite me very well.  I have some major cuts on my right ankle from the teeth on my crank rings.  My shins are really badly cut and my arm hurts from crashing on the stairs.

With all the crashing and mud in my chain I was surprised that I didn't have to quit because of a bike problem.  The hour and ten minute race really gave me a good beating and marked the end of the racing season.  I've decided not to go to Victoria for nationals due to the amount of school I'll be missing and my brother is coming in from winnipeg.  Check later for pictures.
