2010 Great White North Triathlon

Posted in Racing by Kyle Marcotte

The Great White North triathlon occurred on July 4, 2010.  This is a gem of a race that occurs just outside of Edmonton Alberta in the small town of Stony Plain.  Close to 1,000 racers braved the 2km swim, 90km bike and 21km run.  This also marked this race’s 20th year. 

This year was the 6th year that I’ve raced Great White North and I hope to continue to do this race for years to come.  It was a special race for me this year as I was lucky enough to take my 4th victory at this race.  Also, my fiancé Kelly finished 4th overall in the women’s race and qualified for Ironman Canada in August.

2010 Oliver Half Ironman

Posted in Racing by Kyle Marcotte

It was a great day of racing in British Columbia’s Okanagan valley for the 7th annual Oliver Half Ironman.  An overcast sky, cool temperatures, a flat swim, little wind and great competition led to some fast times.  I was really impressed by the men’s winner Paul Tichelaar (2008 Olympian) who crushed the course record. 

Both Janelle and I represented Timex with 4th place finishes.  I’ve already finished my wine.

2km swim/94km bike/21km run:
