Our own Dr Simon Pulfrey recently was recently crowned Canadian National Champion (40-44 Age Group) at the 2011 XTERRA Canadian Open Trail Running Triathalon Championships in Whistler, BC.  He placed 8th overall, one of only 2 amateurs in the Top 10 (the other, 10th overall, placed 2nd behind Simon in the 40-44 Age Group).
