Allied Force vs C3 battle for triathlon supremacy

A friendly war will take place over the battlefields of Guelph Lake Conservation Area this Sunday. Grand Poo-Bah Barrie Shepley has challenged Team Allied Force to a friendly competition at the Guelph Olympic Triathlon. After much negotiation, the criteria has been set:

Each team can name up to 7 athletes.
First 4 athletes on each team count for scoring.
Lowest cumulative time of scoring athletes wins.

Both teams have a few athletes not racing on Sunday…so both teams will not be firing on all cylinders. Barrie and I will be the crazy coaches on the sidelines blowing our vuvuzelas (of which we don’t have) and cheering everyone on. Me racing was contingent on Barrie racing…so I won’t be racing. Barrie things I am a huge wuss for not racing…and he is probably right. But it will be tons of fun watching!

Team Allied Force (coaches Mike Hay and James Loaring):
Mike Hay
Mark Linseman
Tyler Lord
Jonathon McMillan
Ryan Power
Melissa French
Jeff Medd

Team C3 (coach Barrie Shepley):
Sean Bechtel
David Sharratt
Andrew Woegerer
Gary Hutchinson
Hans Porten
Claudia Johnson
Andrew Yorke

I think it will be a very close contest….and might come down to seconds between both teams after a cumulative time of over 8 hours.

The losing team will have to wear the other team’s uniform and pay homage during a team photo.

Both teams are encouraged to donate and help support two great causes:

On August 10th Miguel Vadillo (malva) will make an attempt to cross Lake Ontario.This swim will help organizations to raise money to help children to learn how to swim in organized programs and to provide young people with positive life changing experiences

The Loaring Triathlon takes place on July 17th, where all proceeds go towards the Elena Loaring Memorial Fund for Breast Cancer Research.
