The last two weekends have seen some exciting racing down at the waterfront! On August 7th, the Barrie Sprint Triathlon took place, with many Baydogs participating. Although a small course that many first-time triathletes choose as their premiere Sprint, the competition is FIERCE!!! Some of the fastest triathletes come out to this event that is great for all levels. Kirsten Lowery was 2nd in her AG, Michelle Rumney was 2nd in her AG, Mike Colquhoun was 3rd in his AG (the fastest AG of the day, Kevin O'Neill was 2nd in his AG, and Jim Middaugh was 1st in his AG for the Duathlon!
On August 14th, Barrie's inaugural 1/2 marathon was run down on the waterfront with many Baydogs either using it as a training day, or racing it to set a PB/podium. Kevin O'Neill was 2nd in his AG, Craig Owens was 3rd in his AG, Ryan Blake WON the Relay Division, and congratulations to those that swam 1.9km, rode 90km on the Saturday, and then ran 21.1 on the Sunday!
Good job Baydogs!

Yes the annual Barrie half Iron challenge event ( aka Joe-athlon ) Was a success! We had 16-18m swimmers swim the 2000 plus meters, then 11 plus riders rode out to Wasaga beach and back to my house for roughly 86 plus km of hard riding, and 3 of 6 runners completed the 21k 3 loop run course. Congrats to Joanne Merkley Shawn Patton and Nate Matthew!!... Nate doing his first half Iron distance event ever, and on that note decided to enter the Muskoka 70.3 having confidence now completing the distance!! (Some of use including me only did one loop of 7km as we were running the inaugural Barrie half marathon the next day which we all finished!) ....Then to finish off the day with a fun social BBQ at my house to celebrate the days accomplishments!! Congrats to all!!
