The HSBC Racer Of The Day - It Could Be You
For the third year in a row HSBC has decided to reward your participation in the HSBC Triathlon Series by choosing 25 athletes over the course of the season and awarding some great prizes from Zoot worth in excess of $10,000. They will be the HSBC Racer's Of The Day.
The HSBC Racer Of The Day will be chosen as follows:
- Prior to every race we will be selecting a "Finisher(s) Position" for the day.
- This "Finishers Position" could be any number based on the Total number of entries for ALL races that day. As an example there might be a Give It A Tri, a Triathlon and a Duathlon on the same day (like Lakeside on June 8th). The total number of entrants for those three races might be 500. We will pick a number between 1 and 500. The athlete who crosses the finish line in the position will be the HSBC Racer Of The Day.
HSBC Racer Of The Day Prizes For Lakeside
This weekend at Lakeside we chose FOUR HSBC Racers Of The Day.
Synergy FS Wetsuit value of $470 won by Glen Markham |
Zoot Sports Tri Bag value of $180 won by Dave Wesseling |
Bag/Shoe Package* value of $251 won by Sarah Dybka | 
Bag/Shoe Package* value of $251 won by Steven Deimling |

At each race, John Salt and I will select a shot of the race which will be the photo that best shows the fun and enjoyment of sport that the series is all about.

Race Day Report
First I would like to thank all of the volunteers who supported the athletes this past weekend. It was a fantastic weekend weather wise and we had a record turnout this year. Thank you to everyone who participated and for making this such a successful weekend.
We also want to thank the people of Lakeside and Zorra township who have welcomed us for the past seven years. They have been extremely accommodating in allowing us into their community. As a way of thanking them MultiSport Canada presented Zorra township mayor Margaret Lupton and Councilor Jim Verwer with a cheque in the amount of $750. This money will be used to fund a fitness related activity of piece of equipment for Lakeside. The HSBC Triathlon Series has donated almost $2,000 to Zorra Township and Lakeside.
Sprint Courses Remeasured
Well it was a beautiful day for racing but unfortunately there is some good new/bad news to explain. The good news is that everyone completed the same distance in the Sprint Races. The bad news is that the course was short of the posted distance. After the race we noticed that the bike splits were very fast and went back to review the course. Last year we had to change the course because of last minute road construction and this year some of the changes from last year were included in our crew instructions for setting out turnarounds. This resulted in the course being one concession short. The course was in fact 15.5KM. We appreciate that every athlete we have spoken to has had the same response. "We all raced the same distance so it was a fair race". We do apologize for this error. The results will be updated on the results pages to reflect the proper average speed.

All Awards are based on your age as of December 31, 2008.
Race day award winners were recognized for their accomplishments and received a medal. They will also be receiving a 5 x 7 personalized finishers picture. See below for details.
The Lakeside Triathlon and Sprint Triathlon races had over 150 registered two (2) weeks prior to race day. Medals and pictures for the top three (3) finishers in 5 year age categories were awarded.
The Lakeside Duathlon, Sprint Duathlon and Give It A Tri races all had under 150 registered two (2) weeks prior to race day. Medals and pictures for the top three (3) finishers in 10 year age categories were awarded.
Here is a sample of the personalized picture award. Click on the picture below to see a larger version.
Race Day Awards - You Get To Personalize Your Award
We have developed a new format this year for our race day age group awards. The basic premise is that you get to design your own award by choosing the race picture you want on your award. Please go to our Awards Page for all of the details.
Hi again to all! I am happy to once again be prowling the courses of the
HSBC series and snapping your photos when you least expect it. As was the
case last year; we are again offering age group awards to those who qualify.
You will be identified at the awards ceremony and will be given a business
card with my website. Please follow these directions below to claim your
award.
Last year again resulted in numerous “left over” awards that were requested
to be printed but were never picked up. Please consider the email option
as your primary option. This will ensure that you have a high resolution
copy that can be printed anywhere in any quantity for years to come. Most
labs print these 5x7 photos for less than a dollar and they can be ordered
right online. These are some of the sites that offer this direct online
service: (http://costco.pnimedia.com/home.aspx, http://walmart.pnimedia.com/home.aspx,
http://photolab.ca/home.aspx, http://blacks.ca/print.asp, http://www.kodakgallery.ca).
See you at the races......and smile.
Mike Cheliak
To collect your award you must follow these directions:
1. BROWSE TO THE GALLERY
2. LOCATE THE PHOTO AND CLICK TO ENLARGE
3. ADD HSBC RACEDAY AWARD TO CART FROM DROP DOWN MENU
3. PROCEED TO CHECKOUT AND SELECT "CHEQUE OR MONEY ORDER"
4. INCLUDE YOUR RACE INFO IN THE COMMENTS SECTION (TIME, AGE...)
5. THE PHOTO WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU UNLESS YOU REQUEST FOR IT TO BE
a) mailed at a cost of $6 payable by PayPal invoice
b) printed and brought to an upcoming race at no cost to you
PLEASE NOTE:
Make sure your BIB number is facing front when you finish. Racers who can not be identified at the finish line due to the misplacement of their bib numbers will not receive their award until they can contact Mike Cheliak with a specific photo number from the race. It is too difficult to cross reference and identify every racer especially at the large venues.
In Lakeside athletes in the Triathlon and Sprint Triathlon will receive medals and a finishers picture in five year age groups. The Duathlon, Sprint Duathlon and Give-It-A-Tri had under 150 registered two (2) weeks prior to race day and will have medals and pictures for the top three (3) finishers in 10 year age categories.
The Awards Pictures from all earlier races this season will be ready for pick-up.
Here is a sample of the personalized picture award.
Mike Cheliak Photography
Mike Cheliak Photography
is happy to be the official series supplier of photographic services for
the HSBC Triathlon Series. We will be providing on site event photography
for the entire series and will be capturing time line action photos throughout
each race as well as finish line photos. Our service will allow for near
real time viewing of the action shots. We will also be able to provide on
site high quality photo printing and CD ROM creation.
We are also providing an exciting custom line of 5 x 7 personalized finishers pictures and have agreed to offer these competitors a discounted rate to “upgrade” from the 5 x 7 to a larger print.
We will be offering all competitors the opportunity to purchase event photos online in a completely secure online environment. Our galleries are extensive and will provide browse, search, view and purchase options with similar pricing to our on-site services.
Thanks To All Of Our Sponsors
As you all know there would be no race or series without sponsors. We extend our thanks to each and every sponsor starting with the HSBC Bank Canada or the local bike and running shops in the communities where you race. We hope that you all take a moment to visit the sponsors page and see what they do and look at the products they sell. Please thank them for supporting the sports of triathlon and duathlon by trying and using their products. If you do visit them please take a moment to thank them for supporting triathlon and duathlon.
A Message From The HSBC Bank Canada
HSBC Bank Canada is extremely proud to be the title sponsor of Canada's fastest growing triathlon series. HSBC, both here in Canada and around the world, has a strong tradition of supporting both local and national events. Health, fitness and a balanced life is important. Many of the initiatives we support are based on this premise. Whether its our sponsorship of HSBC Stars on Ice (skating), the HSBC Calgary Marathon, The Vancouver Sun Run, HSBC Childrun, HSBC Triathlon Series, the ITU Brampton Pan American Cup, or the 2007 Ford World Curling Championships, presented by HSBC we believe our presence in communities across Canada should extend far beyond meeting the financial services needs of our customers.
