Gibsons 1/2 marathon, tough course rainy weather... finishing time 1:25:11 and 1:54:12 for james and isabel, special
thanks to worren simon and jackie for the support!
2 days later STORM THE WALL began at UBC, as defending graduate student co-rec champs ulf found some talented girls for
us and a strong guy to give us another run for the money. This year we defended the grad student championship
and fell short by only a few seconds to winning the campus-wide co-rec division.
April 13 was the Vancouver Sun Run, 50,000 people! The second largest 10km field in the world.
Representing the MMAT Education Team I raced a 36:55 (personal best) and came in 146th place at the same time helping
the MMAT team to a first place finish in the ranks of the Education Team Division.
Thanks for Bryce for setting the fast pace, Jackie and Thara for support and all of Senator Reid Elemetary school for
taking part and working hard!

Sept 13, 2003 The first canadian university triathlon championships, went to montreal to represent UBC along with
john temesi, had a decent swim, good ride 1:00:21 (draft legal ride!) but a slow run... my time was still about 9 minutes
faster than when i raced the same course in 1999, so im on the right track... time to slow down and think about next year
