Gravenhurst Triathalon

My son Chris, who many know from his days on the floor of the savedbybikes.com store, competed in his first triathalon in Gravenhurst on the weekend.

I didn’t know what to expect trying to put myself in his position and immediately feeling the pre-race butterflies. He seemed relaxed but felt relieved when it  it was actually underway.

Speaking of underway, it was one of the best ways I can think of to start the swim portion of the event; the participants were taken out to the starting point by the Segwun, North America’s oldest steamship, in Lake Muskoka.
Really cool to watch everyone dig deep for the event; particularly cool to watch my son. He claims to be a slow swimmer and runner, but is fast and powerful on his Opus Scherzo.

He came in 3rd in the “Clydesdale” category – his first triathalon! savedbybikes got Chris and me into this. It will be interesting to see where it leads
