A little bit about our Guest of Honor, Colin Jenkins:
"One of Canada’s most recognized Olympians not to win a medal, Colin Jenkins, was recently elected to Triathlon Canada’s Board of Directors by the organization’s National Team athletes, serving the role as Athlete Representative.
Jenkins, of Milton Ontario, will forever be remembered for dancing down the home stretch at the Beijing Olympics in what will be regarded as the greatest 50th-place finish at the Summer Games after playing a critical role in helping Canada win its second-ever Olympic triathlon medal.
A strong swimmer and cyclist, Triathlon Canada made a bold selection in naming Jenkins to the 2008 Olympic squad with a plan to designate him as Simon Whitfield’s domestique. Jenkins’ job was simple – help put Whitfield back on the Olympic podium, and he dedicated himself to the task wholeheartedly.
Jenkins allowed Whitfield to maintain pace over the 1.5-kilometre swim course, and repeatedly chased down the breakaways on the 40-kilometre bike with the former Olympic champion drafting behind. Jenkins did everything in his power to help Canada win a silver medal."
A consummate team player who exemplifies what it means to be Canadian, Tri NB is honored to have Colin join us on November 12, 2011 for what is sure to be a fantastic evening of celebration and excitement.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone on the 12th of November as we wrap up the season in style, unwind, have a few laughs, some great food and drinks, and bask in the Olympic limelight provided by Colin Jenkins. Stay tuned for ongoing updates as we get closer to November. Cheers!
