ETS Winter 2011 Schedule

Thank you for everyone’s patience as we sort out the Winter 2011 program details. I have been waiting for a certain start date to the New Year as we re-open the main building. I was able to do a tour the other day to see how the roof replacement and internal renovations are coming along and I have to say things are looking amazing under the new roof! It will definitely have a brighter feel under there.

Many of you have asked where ETS will be moving to in 2011. When we start the week of January 10th 2011 we will be in our current location which is the Mezzanine with the great view. We are fortunate enough to be able to start early as the actual program start date for the main building is January 24th 2011. It is during that time that ETS and Tri Club programs may be re-located to a new area in the main building. This area has many pros to our current location and our previous location. Needless to say this will be a big project for me to help develop over the next few months. As we get closer to solidifying this potential relocation I will provide an update right here on our blog.

The following is our Winter 2011 Indoor Cycling and ETS Triathlon Swim schedule;

Congrats to Katy Curtis!

The ETS coaching team would like to congratulate Katy Curtis for her "on-fire" performances this past season especially during the cyclocross season where she finished with a silver medal at the Canadian National Championships on November 6th 2010. Katy has been working with coach Paul Robertson who has been instrumental in helping Katy achieve a new level of performance this past season.

We look forward to seeing Katy continue her progression into 2011.

Well done!
