LBT – Live Breathe Tri

…  coming soon … a fun new uniform … details on ordering are coming … the blue will be a bit softer but brighter. Enjoy a sneak peak!!!  Big thanks to our friends at Louis Garneau for designing it and being so patient and accomodating!

Here is a little explanation of the bits and pieces ..

First, the  name.  It uses my initials ‘LB’ and the ‘T’ is also part of my name. But the “T” is what I do .. Triathlon!

The name is Live Breathe Tri and will be the name for our coaching business which has been happening for a few years but we have decided to make it official.

Why Live Breathe Tri. For me, sport has always been about more than winning. It has allowed me to live full and love life. I have taken a lot of breaths during my career and each breath has brought me closer to my goals of personal excellence. And I use my breath for CF as I try to do as much as I can for families with children with CF and for adults with CF who are choosing to become active.  And triathlon – well, that is what has driven me for the past 20 years. It is my lifestyle, it is Dave and my lifestyle and I hope it is your lifestyle as well.  So there you have it – Live Breathe Tri!!

The colors. Blue and white with a green stripe on the sleeve. First the green stripe is for our friends in Regina – a Regina man was the first person I began coaching about 5 years ago. Now, Dave and I coach a great little Saskatchewan crew – go Riders!!!  The blue represents the ocean which is freedom and energy and air and life.  Dave and I love the ocean. The white is for the purity in our sport which I hope we never lose sight of .. you swim, you bike, you run – go play triathlon! Live Breathe Tri – LBT!!!
