	Charlie Bruce Qualifies for 2011 World Cup Triathlon Ten years older and 32 minutes faster; Charlie truly IS getting better with time. He attributes this improvement to better, more efficient training, “As we get older we take better care of our bodies. We have a better understanding of diet and training techniques. When we are young and our bodies are stronger we tend to abuse them more and train recklessly”.
	Jenny John Inducted to the BC Sports Hall of Fame Jenny was notified last December that she was one of nine individuals being inducted to the hall of fame, along with one team — the 1994 B.C. Lions football squad. It was the first time she’d ever been nominated.

I can’t even begin to explain how it felt to spend so much time with all those incredible women”.
