By the time the next newsletter comes out, the kids will be back at school, the leaves on the trees will be changing colour, and the 2010 triathlon/duathlon race season will soon be over. Sorry to remind you but it is a reality. Until then though, MultiSport Canada has a race for you to do every weekend in August. Bracebridge (August 7 & 8), Toronto Island (August 14 - a few spots left & 15 - sold out), Simcoe Shores Relay (August 21 & 22), and Cobourg (August 28 & 29). And don't forget about our last two events in September - Wasaga and Lakeside. Registrations are picking up and the Lakeside GT 12.9 is close to being sold out already. Act now to ensure you get the races you want to close off the 2010 season. Triple Race Challenge hopefuls are reminded to register for Cobourg and Wasaga to make sure that you are still in the running for prizes.

July 2010
Can you believe it's July already? We are closely approaching the halfway point of our season and the first half has certainly been a booming success with our debut at Woodstock, a soggy but great day in Binbrook, and our inaugural Welland Half Iron which was a huge hit. The wonderful news is that we still have lots of awesome races to choose from (except Gravenhurst of course since the Triathlons are sold out). So make sure that you make the best of the summer racing season and join us for a few more. And for those of you who completed the Welland Half Iron Triathlon, especially the women, please consider racing the Cobourg and Wasaga Beach Olympic Triathlons, this way you can qualify for the Triple Race Challenge and the chance to win cash and prizes. Enjoy this edition of the newsletter, we have some important series news, our monthly exclusive book offer, Ask the Coach, articles about fueling during the bike, riding aero, swimming for newbies, a first timers view of the Welland Half Iron, and much more.

It is as simple as that! Enjoy this edition of the newsletter and we hope to see you this weekend at Woodstock.

Enjoy!
April 2010
By the time this edition of the newsletter meets your eyes, it will be approximately 60 days until the start of the season at Woodstock - June 5. It is definitely time to get on your bikes, and last weekend was just about perfect for it, heck if we could have anticipated this rare bout of warm weather we could have had a race for you. This edition of the newsletter has training tips, our book of the month selection - a must for improving your swim, some important updates from Mike Cheliak, a look at Challenge Roth, our most recent MultiSport Canada Radio interview with Nick Capra, and more.
