• Dr. Freedhoff Challenge - This is called the Dr. Freedhoff challenge because the deal was if 40 folks signed up, he had to do the sprint. They showed up so he had to race. It was unreal. We had 51 people do it and the weather was atrocious! However, everyone loved it many have already booked future races and 2 are going on to try the half ironman. One is booking a trip to Florida as he thought it would be fun to race there. So overall, things went fantastic. This review was written by Rob Matthews.

• Try-a-Tri Race - Report Julia Meldrum Smith (Cornwall Transit Race, August, 2006) The day after fellow Learn to Run grad and lifelong buddy Maddy Tardif announced to me at the Shelby’s Diagnosis run that we were doing the Cornwall Transit Try-a-Tri, I started my training/reading/worrying/obsessing about doing my first triathlon. Only after the Cornwall Multisport Club clinic did I stop having nightmares about knocking over bikes at the transition zone with a "domino effect". Amid the excitement at my kids’ triathlon on Saturday, I really started questioning myself and feeling sick. "Who did I think I was, anyway? I was no where near fit enough, and I was a total newbie at all 3 components. What was I thinking?" By the time I went to bed on Saturday night though, I was feeling pretty good. I really felt that it was great that my body was capable of doing this, and I was grateful for never having faced a life-threatening illness or major injury. I sort of felt obliged, as if I had no right to not challenge my body, in light of the many people who don’t have that option. That feeling stayed with me as I woke up every hour or so....
