2008 Alfie Shrubb 8km Classic Review | Posted by Ben Kong on Jun 3, 2008

The Alfie Shrubb Classic was a race I was interested in doing for a few years now, and only this year did it fit into my race schedule. The most interesting aspect of this race is the name sake.

Forest City race a throw-back to the old days | Posted by Ben Kong on Jun 3, 2008

Milton Sprint Distance (June 01) | Posted by Syd Trefiak on Jun 1, 2008

Headed out into the day today wondering what the weather would hold for the first official triathlon of the season.  It couldn’t come soon enough for me.  Very anxious to see where the legs were at.
