O Canada indeed!



For the second time this season, a Canadian wins an ITU race! Carolyn Murray won Sunday's ITU race in Richards Bay, South Africa, with a great run off the bike. This is Carolyn Murray's best ever finish (her previous was an 8th place finish in 2005) and puts her squarely in the running for a spot at the Olympics. Kathy Tremblay (4th) and Kyle Jones (4th - mens race) also had great results.

So we now have three Canadian women with Top-8 finishes this year, and 2 guys who have done the same. Plus, Colin Jenkins still lurks as an at-large selection option. It will be a big day in Vancouver on June 8th.

Trev you forgot to mention the most important part - Carolyn is originally from Edmonton! Ok, St. Albert, but close enough... With her, Tich and Findley, etown is looking pretty good on the tri scene these days!

Actually, she went to my high school (Paul Kane in St Albert). Thought it would be a little too homer-ish to mention that!
