July 6: Sheila and Peter raced the Mike Collingwood Memorial triathlon, with Sheila placing 3rd overall woman, and Peter 20th overall men. It's by far Sheila's favourite triathlon because of the Gatineau Park venue (swimming in Meech Lake, cycling a loop of the Park, and running P8-P9), and the fantastic organization that has take over from Mike Collingwood after he passed away in 2006. Mike was an incredible man and loved to encourage anyone to get active - he was also a dedicated volunteer and helped organize many local events, including the Meech Lake Triathlon and the Keskinada. Full results are here.
