The challenge of Tri, the personal planning & comittment to oneself to be able to enter races and compete, to be able to do at my age what I thought was no longer possible!

I want to salute and wish the very best to Gerda Brault-Myer, a unique montrealer  who didn't take up her Tri sport until she was 64 , now 73, world champion in her class & preparing to compete in London 2013...
