Ever since Kevin found himself in the thick of a competitive hockey career, he has not only had a desire to train but also an abiding curiosity to discover what kind of training works best and why.
Since retiring from hockey, Kevin has completed eight Ironmans including two Hawaii Ironman Championships, with his best finish coming at the Ironman Canada in 2003 with a time of 9 hours 36 minutes.
While competing in the short and long course disciplines, Kevin has qualified for the Canadian World Age Group Team. He continues to push his own racing limits, achieving his first sub-2 hour Olympic Distance triathlon at the 2007 Edmonton ITU on his way to a second overall placing with the fastest bike split. The following year at Great White North 2008, Kevin PR’d with a 4 hour 6 minute clocking and a 4th place overall finishing.
Kevin also competes in the individual disciplines, including category 2 bike racing. His personal bests in running are 33:55 in the 10 km, 75 minutes in the half marathon and 2 hours 44 minutes in the marathon.
Kevin’s desire to find new ways to push the limits of body and mind lured him and a teammate to the 2008 2nd running of the Trans Rockies 110 mile Run Race in CO where they finished 4th overall out of 75 teams.
Race stats aside, Kevin continually strives to improve his own development as a coach. Althetes train with APTS because of the boundless enthusiasm and energy that Kevin invests into improving their performance.
