Most of us can remember where we were 10 years ago when Simon Whitfield
won the gold medal in Sydney Australia. The 23 year old stunned
virtually everyone with his historic gold-medal final
sprint. As the head coach of the Canadian
Olympic Team, I had watched Simon grow from a
12 year old Kids of Steel Participant from Kingston
Ontario to one of the strongest men to ever
participate in the sport. Simon's passion and
competitiveness are unequalled and he backed his gold in Sydney with a
silver in 2008 in Beijing. He hopes to go to
his 4th Olympics in London
in 2012. When I came home from the Olympics, people were
so excited about Simon's win, that C3
decided to start a local Kids of Steel Triathlon to honour
Simon's great accomplishment.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the KOS triathlon
and the 10th anniversary KOS race will
have some special prizes and gifts. Simon
Whitfield has agreed to sign autographed copies of his
new book (to all age group winners AND to 10 participants
who register for the May 30th race by
May 1st, 2010). The event has evolved over the years
as well. A few years ago, we added a 5km
run in the middle of the day as well as adult pool
triathlon (400m pool swim, 15km bike, 5km run).
Why not get a head start on your racing season and enter
the adult triathlon to make it a family
event?
If you can't pariticipate and want to help out, why not volunteer?
Nearly 100 volunteers are required
each year to make the day a success and we hope that each
of you will consider contributing.
Volunteering to help with the event is
easy. Simply email Luisa Ruby at ltruby@rogers.com.
Without the help
of the many sponsors, C3 events would never take place. Our
title sponsor,
Kinetico has
been world-class and have always wanted to make sure that every child/family
felt like they were
part of a
world-class event. While many other sponsors have helped
immeasurably over the years
(and we thank
them), C3's Kim Nelson and Royal Containers have been instrumental as
to why the
yearly event is
the biggest and best in Canada.
