Kelowna 2008 Pictures

My apologies for some of the photo's being blurry and sideways :-) I was in a bit of a hurry to get these up, and I didn't correct them. The pictures start with the KOS race on Saturday and ends with the Elites on Sunday.

Team BC medallists PEI - Canada Games Test race. - August 03, 2008

Belated Congratulations to JP, Sharpie, Aaron - going 1st, 2nd, 5th and Christine 3rd, Rebecca 5th at the Canada Games Test race in PEI..   Onward to Kelowna!  Great racing ahead. 

PEI photos and wrap up.

After a lengthy delay (5 hours) in Toronto, the group from Victoria, finally arrived back Tuesday, to a sunny, hot Victoria evening. All were very glad to be home, after days of rain and wind in Summerside PEI. At times it felt like a bad winter day in Victoria. I'm sure those athletes who will travel to Summerside for the Canada Games next year will have better weather.. ..But the people in PEI were amazing.. they went out of their way all the time to help us out… the hotel staff in particular were great. One local restaurant went out of their way and accommodated Team Ontario, Sask, Manitoba and BC, almost 50 of us, for dinner the last night with very short notice. The trip was great fun, as seen from some of the photos, all the athletes raced very fast and all of them reconnected or made new friends from the other provinces.

Other than our friendly national airline neglecting to put 7 of the 10 bike boxes on our flight from Toronto to Charlotetown, they did all arrive the next evening. Weather is cloudy with some sun.. bit humid but very tolerable. Team Ontario and Coach CT arrived at the pool today so there was a big group hug from the BC athletes who hadn't seen Craig since last year in Brampton.

The group... coaches, managers and kids are all having a great time and looking forward to Sunday... more updates as time allows...
