VICTORIA YOUTH TRIATHLON: June 10, 2012

Most of you are aware that Jacqui and I are stepping back from our role of organizing the Victoria Youth Triathlon. After 25+ years it is time to pass on this great event to someone else.
 
Rob Dibden has come forward and expressed his strong interest in organizing a 2012 Victoria Youth Triathlon.  Rob is a Victoria policeman(soon to retire) and a very successful triathlete. He has been very involved with Triathlon BC and he has experience organizing sporting events. 
 
Rob would like to invite anyone who has worked on previous Youth Triathlons to get involved in this year's triathlon, scheduled for June 10. Please contact Rob if you are interested in helping at the 2012 triathlon. robdibden@me.com
