Triathlon Season Starts

In my profession, I have my “favourite child” and for me, Triathlon season is it. I get a HUGE rush out of watching, photographing and being involved in this amazing sport. Each year I get the same feeling of anticipation that tells me I truly love what I do.
I have been with the MultiSport Canada Triathlon Series since 2003 and now go into my 7th year with them. Our relationship is more of a family than that of a business partner. All the people from the race series are dedicated, committed and vibrant individuals that all add to the amazing product that the athletes enjoy.
We are all dedicated to ensuring everyone is a winner when they run the MultiSport Series. From the oldest competitor (Jimmie Georgas 83 years young) to the youngest Kid’s of Steel racers at 3 years old, nobody walks away without a smile on their face.
Every year I capture amazing shots of athletes doing amazing things and every year I surprise myself again and again with some of the moments I am privileged to capture.
Another key to my true love of the series are the athletes who I have come to call my friends. Every year I am greeted with the smiles and true appreciation of seeing my again. I have spent all these years chronicling their adventures and they know the love I have for what I do in the results they see in my photographs.
So this coming weekend June 6th and 7th, 2009 marks the beginning of another season for me to again meet old aquaintances, reestablish friendships for another great summer and join my summer family once again on another adventure of athletics, memories and fun!
In happiness and health as always,
Mike C.
