2008 was the 4^th time that I have competed at the Great White North Triathlon in Stony Plain Alberta.  This event has approximately 800 participants when you include all of the relay racers.  This is one of the most popular races in western Canada and registration sells out almost a year in advance.  I grew up not far from the race site, so I always enjoy coming to this event as it’s a chance to visit family and friends.  This is a very well organized and supported race.
 

We had rain for the first 35k of the bike but other than that it was a really nice day.  I had a strong race, taking the lead at about the 8k point of the run.  The season is going well and if I can loose 5 more pounds of Molson muscle, I’m hoping to be in good shape for ironman Canada.
