Spinathon

Yesterday was a huge success as Tri It held their 2nd annual spin-a-thon. The spin-a-thon is a 6 hour spin with all proceeds raised from registration fees and silent auctions going to help local triathletes achieve their goals. Many pro triathletes do not make a tonne of money as triathlon does not pay out like some other professional sports. And as many of you know, triathlon is an expensive sport. With funds like this, Janelle and Jordan can help pay of some of their mounting expenses and focus on training.

There were over 80 riders throughout the day. We also had many wonderful friends, triathletes and other supports stop in to say HI throughout the day!

The day was a huge success and everyone had a alot of fun while riding (sessions led by Luke Way, Janelle Morrison and Jordan Bryden. Also lots of social time with a DJ, and watching the Ironman and Xterra World Championships on the big screen.

Here are some of the amazing women I am lucky enough to coach! (far right is Terry and in the middle is Maureen). They had a blast and spent longer on their trainers than they ever have before! "IWHBIDI" was proclaimed.


Good luck this season Jordan and Janelle! We are all behind you 100%!
