May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.

Kelowna Elite Nationals

I know I am supposed to be posting recent photos- but since Kelowna Elite Nats were kind of overlooked, I thought I'd better post a couple shots from then as well. The NTC represented very well at Nationals. Of course our Olympians were all top three, and Paula, our future Olympian, placed third for Women. Andrew McCartney placed 5th overall, then Andrew Russell in 6th and Austin 7th and then AP 8th! For U23 AMac was the champion, followed by Austin, and for Women of course Paula won and yours truly snuck on for 3rd.
Anyways- sorry for the jump back in time. Enjoy the pics.

Thetis Lake Relays

Last Wednesday NTC rocked the 4x5k Thetis Lake relays! NTC A team placed first, NTC B team place 2nd and NTC women placed 1st for Ladies! Wooohoooo! Our A team boys all ran under 15:45!

Bronze Medal - Paula Findlay - 2009 U23 World Triathlon Championships, Australia

The 2009 World Triathlon Championships got off to a great start today with Paula racing to a bronze medal in the U23 race. The race was held in beautiful conditions on the Gold Coast of Australia. The two U23 men also put in very good performances with Andrew McCartney finishing with a strong 15th place finish and Andrew Yorke in 36th.

Congratulations to all the coaching, medical and support staff in Australia and at home that have contributed to the development of the athletes.
