Just for a change we are off to Hawrelak Park to see a triathlon, but today sees the elite ladies. I had my last swim in the lovely pool and packed our bags and picked up a hire car from the hotel car park. The person in Avis saw all our luggage and got us a suitable car. He thought we had a lot luggage, I assumed he would have been used to people travelling with bikes. We negotiated our way to the park and eventually found the car park next to the free shuttle. The ladies race was very exciting and we were able to get a really got viewing spot as they came out from the swim and then moved to where we could watch the ladies coming through the transition area on the bike laps and run laps . Unfortunately Jodie Stimpson wasn't a front runner today but it was amazing to see the American Gwen Jorgansen come from behind and overtake everyone on the run and take gold.
After the race we made our way out of Edmonton onto highway 16 a bit sad that we will miss the men's race tomorrow but we have lots to see and do. We made it to Hinton which is a town on the edge of the Rockies and did some shopping and started planning the next part of our trip to the Rockies.
