So i got a great news today!!!!!!! I have been name Athlete of the Year in the 18-29 age group category!!!!!!!! Yes.... i m a AGE GROUP OF THE YEAR!!!!!!
Great job TRI-CAN!
In 2007, i won the NATIONAL CANADIAN ELITE LD CHAMPIONSHIP
1st ELITE VICTORIA HALF IRONMAN
2nd place PRO IRONMAN CANADA
6th place PRO IRONMAN ARIZONA
i was name on the BC elite team and even better.... Triathlon Canada as ask me to go represent the country as there Elite athlete at the world championship with 500$ of funding.
and they find a way to give me the AGE GROUP AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well, please, take my name out and give it to someone more deserving. I m sure there is a few age grouper deserving of this award and that would like it.
And if you cant do something properly and professionaly, what about taking it completly out of your programm.... After a breaktrought year like last year, i do find it a bit insulting to not be reconise as a elite athlete. I would think my federation would have a bit more of a research process before making those kind of awards???
Anyway, hope that someone in the 18-39 age group will get his deserving reconnition.....

Are you even in the 18-29 age group? I thought you were way older than that... must be the lack of hair...
that is what i love about tri can, lol...
i was gonna write something funny, but i can't top joel. that's gold...
So then did they want you to come up with the extra 3-4 hundred dollars to actually do the race?
