[Patrick Hirtle - SouthShoreNow] – Bridgewater Triathlon Club member Cliff Worden-Rogers turned in a remarkable performance in the Bridgetown Triathlon’s Half Ironman on August 1, finishing first overall.

But, as wonderful as the victory was, he will be the first to say that it wasn’t a race that went exactly as expected.

Mark Campbell, race director for Du-it-Like Bryan writes …

hey folks,

this years 7th edition of the Du it like Bryan is indeed a go and will  take place this sunday june 20th.

with over $8200 proceeds donated in the first 6 yrs, the event  supports amateur sport, and is run in the memory and unique style of  bryan scallion.

this year will again have the usual huge prize lot and buffs for first 65 to registrar, as well as maintaining the same commitment to safety, fun, and competition.  the usual free bbq and mud is aslo available to any who come to compete or watch, and of course you must have the mandatory squeaky toy or bell for the bike.

event info can be found at:  http://www.atlanticchip.ca/events/details.php?show=542

for insurance coverage and sanctioning, all non-triathlon nova scotia  members must pay a 1 day $20 fee, or $10/person for a team.  i’ve  reduced the base fees $30 to help ease that charge, and with a good  turnout, we will still be able to make a good contribution to the  memorial fund and also support the multi sport efforts of triathlon  nova scotia.

hope to see many of you there, and be sure to bring a friend or family  member to watch, or even give it a try.  i still need a few volunteers  as well so please pass them anyone interested on to me and will keep  them busy and feed them too.

gudhealth2all and see everyone sudnay,
