So you want to be a coach ...

The Coaches Association of BC has a flashy new site with a great page of links on resources for coaches.

If you aren't familiar with what it takes to become a triathlon coach, check out TriBC or ask.

Several members of the executive are 'community coaches' and there's one progressing on the next level.

Whistler 50 looking for volunteers

It's the newest member of the ultra running schedule for the Sea to Sky, the Whistler 50.

The debut event is on Saturday November 5th and the race director is looking for a few more people to help.

There are about 50 individual and about 200 team members who will be on the course.

It's a four lap course with 17km for the first one and then three laps of 21km each .. to reach the 50 MILE mark.
