— By Daryl Flacks This past weekend (June 23/24) was MultiSport Canada’s season opener presented by Skechers Performance in Welland. The Long Course races were held Saturday, with Sunday dedicated to the sprint & give-it-a-tri races. Sunday’s bike course was held entirely on fully closed roads. I raced Saturday in the Long Course 56k Bike […]
— By Daryl Flacks “It’s not how fast you go but how long you go fast.” No one knows this better than endurance athletes.
