Hello all

Hi there,
So to introduce myself. My name's Ian. I've just moved to Prince George from North vancouver. I spent the last year training with the North Shore Triathlon Club after taking a bit of a sabatical from adventure racing. It's been odd having to start training indoors so early since I'm used to having fairly mild winters but I have joined the UNBC cross country ski team which should keep me in good shape for next year. I'm studying Commerce at UNBC and really enjoy it so far. Only one more year after this one and then I'm done. I also taught downhill skiing for five years but stopped because school became too hectic. I also do a lot of rock climbing and mountaineering, although there aren't many mountains around here. Anyways, I couldn't muster up the cash to do Ironman this coming year but it's a definate for 2006. It'll be my first ironman and I'm looking forward to some of the bigger races for this coming race season like the Victoria half IM, Vancouver tri, Vancouver Marathon and Victoria Marathon. I guess I'll be doing a lot of travelling in the summer. Anyways, if there's anyone else who lives in PG drop me a line.......I haven't come across many people up here who participate in these types of sports. Anyways, ciao for now and it's nice meeting all of you.

Cheers

Ian D. Fripp
