At home....working toward the Big Day!

It has been nice to be home for a few weeks, but it seems to have been busier than it was out on the road.
We have resumed training for the last race, finally getting out for some nice runs along the canal and some great rides around Ottawa. The swims....well, those are tolerated!!!!

Along with that, we have been working overtime on the season finale, "Tri The World's Sweet 16 Party", a fundraiser for our two charities as well as a good reason to get all of our friends and family together to send us off to Clearwater for our last race.

Our silent auction has done very well and attendance is almost at capacity, so I am sure a good time will be guaranteed.

After Friday, it will be back to training and back to prepping for #16.

If anyone out there wants to take a trip to Ottawa, please , contact Brian for tickets: brian@tritheworld..ca

Here is the info on the party!

Tri The World’s “Sweet 16” Grand Finale Fundraiser
Where: The Westin Hotel Ballroom
When: Friday, October 24th, 2008, 7:30pm
What: Silent Auction, finger foods and LIVE music.
Cost: $55 per person including a $10 tax receipt from each charity)

Well, 14 races ago we kicked off our "Tri The World" venture with a fun get-together. With #16 nearing, we figured that a “Sweet 16” party amongst our friends and all those who have supported us, would be the best way to send "Tri The World" off to the last race.

We also knew that this would be a great opportunity to send a nice chunk of change to our charities. So, we gathered up one of the newest and nicest ballrooms this town has to offer who will be putting out one of the best “finger food and appetizer” spreads known to this city. We have secured one of the finest voices in Ottawa, Jody Delwo and her band and have begun to collect some pretty fine items:
