BANFF INTERNATIONAL TRIATHLON 2010

The Banff Subaru International Triathlon of 2010 is the inaugural event of what could become a destination race for triathletes from all over the world.

One would be hard pressed to find a triathlon in a more idyllic setting.

As with most inaugural races there may be a few growing pains, but that's normal with any new triathlon with organizers, volunteers, and a town who are putting on the race for the very first time.

I plan on hitting the road for Banff right after work on Friday and hope to be there by around 2 p.m.

I'm scheduled to do  a book signing at the Spirit Indigo Book Store in Cascade mall for around 5 hours. If you are planning on being in town, come by and say hello and give me your take on the new Banff race.

I'm going to stay over-night in Canmore and hang out around Central Park in  Banff for a little while on Saturday morning. Hopefully long enough to catch some of the early finishers coming it.

I  can't stay all day because I have a book-signing planned for 1 p.m. at Coles Bookstore in Market Mall back in Calgary. So needless to say, it will be a busy weekend.

Best of luck to all those who are entered in the race on Saturday. I hope the weather is great and the water warm.
