2016 Guardian Century Charity Ride Mental Health Association

9/28/2016

Great to do the Guardian Century ride on Sunday! Going toward a great cause and doing it with a lot of great people. Almost $10,000 raised this year!!! The sun popped through just in time for the BBQ which we had with blue skies. Enjoyed the ride. Very tough riding with Jonathan Firth and Peter Watson, but managed to hang on for the most part:) Also, big shout out to Firthy for raising almost $3000 if i'm not mistaken. Great to hear your speech and I've heard that some people were glad to hear what you had to say.
Cheers,
Brock

- 16 year old Junior Elite Triathlete.

.When I was little, my parents enrolled me in soccer, skating and swimming, hoping that I had the same athletic love they had. But, they tell me I spent more time throwing grass, skating the wrong direction and wiping the water off my face, than playing. Although I did come to really enjoy and do well at hockey, I tried my first triathlon at age 7 and won! From that day on, I was driven to win every race I did! In 2014 we moved from AB to Kelowna in pursuit of finding better training opportunities. Since joining Balance Point Racing in July of 2014, my sister and I (and now my younger brother) have really enjoyed our time training with Luke and Andrew. I have had consistent improvement in all three disciplines. Thanks to the BPR program and the help of such great coaches, I am looking forward to the many years ahead in my racing career! My favorite day of the week is Friday. The combination of a grueling track session, an after track swim in the lake, and the thought of a long ride the next morning gets me pumped! My triathlon heroes are of course Simon Whitfield, whom I’ve met and admired during the years he raced and also the Brownlee brothers, dreaming that one day it will be me and my brother racing together. My dream is to become an Elite ITU triathlete for Canada, and represent my country at the Olympics!

Long Term Goals
-Have podium finishes in all of my Junior Elite races 16-19.

-Qualify for the ITU World Junior Championship in 2017.

-Win an ITU World Championship.

-Race to win the 2024 Olympics alongside my brother:)
