"Heil has approached her sport with a single-mindedness that's unparalleled", Gauthier said. "That's been the secret to her success".
"Attention to detail, I have never seen that in any other athlete," he explained. "I would be bored often doing what she's doing in the gym because everything is meticulous.
"She pushes the coaches and trainers working with her to be better every day. We can't just sit and ride the wave. Every day has to have a purpose and every day there is an objective to accomplish."

Tour de Victoria Registration has Strong Opening Week
Posted by Editor on 01/18/11
Registration for the May 28th inaugural Tour de Victoria is off to a terrific start, with nearly one-third of the available 1,500 spots sold in the first week, Race Director, Seamus McGrath announced today.
"The first week of registration was a smashing success and is going better than I ever imagined with almost 500 registrations in a matter of days," says McGrath. "This just shows that this is the kind of event that people have been waiting for in Greater Victoria."
The ride will be led by Canadian cycling hero and Olympian Ryder Hesjedal, who placed seventh in the 2010 Tour de France and has been named Canadian Cyclist’s male cyclist of the year for the second year in a row. Registration opened January 10th at www.tourdevictoria.com. The Tour de Victoria will be the marquee event of the Victoria International Cycling Festival (VICF), which hosts several cycling events and races from May 28th until the end of June.
McGrath also announced that several high-profile Victoria athletes will be joining Hesjedal on the Tour de Victoria, including Olympic Gold Medalist Simon Whitfield. "I moved to Victoria for the excellent cycling available here and I can't wait to ride with everyone on May 28th," Whitfield told race organizers.
Other confirmed Victoria champions include 2006 Canadian Ironman champion Jasper Blake, 2008 Olympic Gold medalists Jake Wetzel and Adam Kreek, and Canadian mountain biking legend and Olympian Andreas Hestler.
"We are really excited to be tapping into the large group of talented athletes who either live in Victoria now, or have in the past and want to join us," said McGrath.
The Tour will cater to participants of all ages and fitness levels, offering a choice of three distances: 140 kilometres for the enthusiast, 90 kilometres for the entry level rider and a community ride of 1-20 kilometres for beginners, families and those who want to see what cycling is all about.
All proceeds from the Community ride will be donated to Power to Be Adventure Therapy Society, a charity helping to improve the health and quality of life for youth, adults and families facing significant life challenges.
The route will start and finish in downtown Victoria, and travel down many of the scenic cycling routes in the capital region used by Hesjedal to train for the Tour de France.

another outstanding Macca interview.
from www.firstoffthebike.com
Monday, 17 January 2011
Monday, 17 January 2011
Chris McCormack. On top. Just like he said.
Chris McCormack is a tour de force in triathlon. Getting him pegged down for an interview is tough. His schedule both on and off the course is busy leaving scant time for writers to get access to Camp Macca. When you do though, the reward is the man himself. Tough and uncompromising Macca is savvy and damn good media talent.
When you are talking to him though you can feel him getting annoyed and at any moment there may just be a 'Colonel Jessup' moment (see the film A Few Good Men). Macca is clever enough order the "Code Red" but smart enough not to admit to it. The interview went for over 45mins with the topics varied and vibe ebbing and flowing as Macca felt compelled to talk through some of the bigger issues surrounding his planet.
Make no mistake about it, this is Macca at his best. Tough, defiant and on top. There is a real honesty in the gritty answers he gives to questions that, let's be honest, we all wanted answers to. (Phil Wrochna)

How do you enjoy the off-season as a world champion? Is it a different off-season to others?
I've had the same off-season probably since I started Ironman back in the day. I used to come home from Europe or the States straight into this Formula One series so I used to have a week or month off. But ever since I started doing Ironman I think it started ’02 I'd get these October blues. I'd have a sh*t Hawaii and I'd come home and I'd just feel so unmotivated. I’d say stuff this and I'd have to remotivate myself for Ironman Australia.

I’d say stuff this and I'd have to remotivate myself for Ironman Australia.
But I found that in the break I was having between October and December I'd do nothing like I'd get fat. I'd go for a paddle on my ski with some mates, go and have a coffee or I might ride but there's no structure nothing. I'd go five days without doing a thing and then I might do two bike rides and a swim and I do that pretty much from October to December 10. Then we start ticking over in December trying to get motivated again.
And I found that when I had that big break I was getting stronger and stronger and stronger. I found that whether I was winning races or losing races the off-season never changed. I really enjoy coming home. It's always better if you've won. You're definitely in a different mind set, a different head space. But I think it's a reward, the off-season, for the time away. For the heavy lifting all season and it's just time to get home.
We’re older now and your mates have got families and its good to get the kids together and catch up and have a beer and not talk anything to do with triathlon. Just say “mate what's been going on? How's work?” Get down the pub and pretend we’re 21 again and talk about the old days when we were picking up skirt without the wives around.
Is it any different this year when I won? No not at all but no it's still the same. It's exactly the same to be honest with you spend a bit of time talking about the race (Kona) you get a few more ‘great race mate’ and you go ‘oh thanks’. The crew of guys that I come home and have the off-season with I've know them for 25 years so win lose or draw it's the same stuff usually a lot more about the kids now.

After months with no word of his whereabouts, word leaked out that Pete had become a bush pilot for Air Nootka in Gold River, British Columbia (Nowadays Pete’s flying for Harbour Air Seaplanes). In 2009, Inside Triathlon contributing editor T.J. Murphy made the trek up to BC to visit and document the new Pete Reid. Here’s a couple photos from that visit.
