Discover your life aquatic

Beverli Barnes has been with Sea Hiker for over two years now, starting with a Freestyle Fundamentals course at the VAC and swimming in the open water and Swim Pods. 

Bev also took on leading the organization of the annual Vancouver Swimathon in 2011,  an event that Sea Hiker has been involved in and will support again in 2012. 

Click on the link below to see her detailed account of her personal best triathlon at the Kelowna Apple National Championship, which got her on the Tri BC Team in her age group.  

It's full of twists and turns! You'll want to read to the end to find out how her fastest pace ever overall in a race nearly got derailed during the run!

I had a really fun and incredible year racing so wanted to thank my coaches for their expertise.

With the help of Diana Steele (nutrition), The Peak Centre, Carey Nelson (Forerunners winter running coach), Peter Scott, (swim coach), Mark Shorter (killer Lifesport coach) and Andrew Peters RMT, I was able to train without injury and achieve 10 personal bests in various races from May – August.

Thanks also to my friends and family who are so supportive and encouraging even when I get intense and irritating.

Upon returning from the Okanagan, I was notified that I had made it onto the TRI BC TEAM. I was very surprised but feel honoured.  Now for some R & R and time with our new puppy “Tailor” before getting back into it in October.
