My Thank You Post

Thanks to my fast buddy Paul Oostra for running with me yesterday. Paul had my number and ran the 5k in 19 and change....not too shabby considering he has had the flu all week! I got it done in 20 mins exactly on a very icy course.
Looks like our GP Triathlon for the May long weekend is a definate go...thanks to Matt Bain for moving on this and reviving it!
Local triathlon legend Joe Radench has graciously agreed to coach and guide me through the next 21 weeks of training leading up to Ironman Canada. We are extremely lucky to have someone of Joe's caliber and experience here in GP and he is always willing to pass on his vast knowledge and to others in our tri community! Thanks Joe!!
Also a kudos goes out to Amber and Darren for opening up their doors every Sunday for us to stink and sweat up their home with our Coach Troy Sufferfests! Thanks Guys!!
Thanks to my sweety who has made sure that I can't blame my bike this year at Ironman...P3C!
There has been some crazy growth around here in the Press Run Programs...Thanks Sonya and Lori...and the GP Run Walk Club explosive growth, the solid Tri community, Grande Prairie is becoming a real powerhouse in running and triathlon and it keeps getting larger!!!
Check out this months issue of Canadian Runner Magazine for a profile or our Run/Walk Club!! Way to go everyone!!
And for all you who enjoy Muserau Lake and our Triathlon Training Camps, and anybody who enjoys this beautiful part of the province and all other Provincial Parks, please plan on attending the Open House at the Muskoseepi Park Pavillion on Tuesday April 1st at 7:00pm. We have to voice our opposition to the lobby to allow ATV's and motorized boats in all these areas! These open houses are key to the policy development for the future and we need to be heard so lets all get out and voice our concern that we do not want motorized vehicles in our Provincial Parks!!
See you then!!!
