Simon Whitfield was in town cheering on the runners.  He made Rob and Hilary's day by allowing them to wear his Olympic medals for a quick photo.  I think they still have smiles on their faces two days later.  Simon is a class act who has inspired millions.

LPC athlete Laura Greenaway (co-Head Coach of the Fighting Koala's Niagara Region Triathlon Team) had a fantastic day and qualified for the 2010 Boston Marathon.  Laura had a great year of sprint triathlon training and racing.  After her final sprint triathlon, and despite little time to specifically prepare, Laura signed up for Road2Hope Marathon, and had eight weeks of specific marathon training.  She executed an excellent pacing strategy on race day, and will now look forward to more long course training and racing next season.
