A few pictures from Kelowna during the run-up to Nationals, courtesy of Marie-Claude Gregoire who is out there doing the National Technical Officials (NTO) course.
The gate at YVR before boarding for Kelowna. The dress-code among athletes was knee-length Bermudas, Knee high compression socks (socks, not guards, socks) and sandals. Argghhh my eyes!
We're in Kelowna!
The Kelowna boardwalk looks nice for a relaxed early morning run but Jason's advice is "save your energy"; sounds ominous....
Dessert; I hope TriCan was paying!
The new ITU Competition Rules. We'll be hearing a lot about these in the future. I hope the new yellow/red cards aren't that size!
Official Official's uniform :)
Carpet (timing mats?) all laid out and ready to set
News conference with Olympic Gold and Silver medalist Simon Whitfield and the triathlon world's current athlete-du-jour Paula Findley.
Dream TZ. Doesn't look like this is the Elite one tho'.
Thanks MC

Hello from Kelowna!
ReplyDeleteThe dessert was the tri-a-cake special: lemon, carrot and chocolate cakes!
The green carpet is half the beech pontoon we built today. All elite athlete has 24 x 28 inches of green carpet.
Beautiful weather, it will be a great race!
I hope that new rule book doesn't allow for age group drafting. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat new rule book needs amending PDQ; there's some nasty stuff in there about non-draft-legal aero-bars that has to be sorted ASAP!
