Baydog Year End Party A Huge Sucess!

We had a great turnout at our Barrie Baydogs Triathlon Club Year End party.  There were over 60 people who came out to Wranglers on Friday night for some free food, casual conversation, and talk of a promising 2015 triathlon season.  We also gave away a full 2015 Baydog Membership to the lucky winner of our draw Allan Johnson.  Other draw prizes included 3 entries in the Barrie Waterfront Half Marathon, a $50 gift certificate plus 3 yoga passes from Absolute Athlete Care.   Things got a little crazy after nine with our traditional singing of Ironman (Black Sabbath) for all those Baydogs who completed an Iron-Distance event in 2014.  A good time had by all.
