McMaster Tri Clinic Fast Approaching

All is calm on my home front.  Been working away with the swim club and the York U run, which are a great fun and I hope everyone is learning  a lot.  There is still room available for both so if you were looking to sign up you still can at the Personal Best website.

The big event that is rapidly approaching is the McMaster Tri Clinic.  It is a great day for the beginner to advanced triathlete or sport enthusiast who wants to try to do things better.   It is on December 3rd and spots are limited so if you are interested I would suggest acting quickly.  You only get 1 chance a year to learn from the best so don't wait until next year. You can sign up and get more information from following this link http://www.personalbest.ca/eventsandcamps/camps/19-mactriclinc

Other then that this weekend is the end of year banquet for the C3 which is always fun and a great night to catch up with the rest of the team and help get motivated for the next year.

That's all for now and I hope to see you at the McMaster Tri Clinic on Dec 3rd!!!!!

Drew Bechtel and the NYC Marathon

Hey, I am a little late with this post because the race is this weekend but better late then never.  My cousin Drew Bechtel is a type 1 Diabetic and has been since he was 5.  I remember as a kid playing video games at our Grandparents and having to watch him take his needles multiple times a day.  I was able to see first hand how serious Diabetes can be and how much time and effort it takes to try to live a normal life.

There have been some amazing advancements in the care of Diabetes and this has allowed Drew to achieve some amazing things.   He has run multiple half marathons and one marathon.   Drew is now running the New York City Marathon in support of the JDRF ( Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation ) to help fund research to help battle Juvenile Diabetes so other kids can achieve what he has been able to. 

Please visit his donation page to find out more about him and if you can make a donation to the JDRF.
