Sportstats.ca

As I'm getting all anxious for the big Ottawa Race Weekend, I'm clicking around and finding some pretty cool sites. Take, for example, Sportstats.ca.

The just-mentioned link takes you to the profile of a specific athlete, and lets you see their progression. In this case, the lady starts in '97 with a blazing fast half marathon in a time of 1:35, and over the course of a couple years, builds to a marathon, finishing in a fantastic 3:32. But it doesn't stop there: She gets into triathlons and continues to improve her marathon times all the way down to 3:18. A few years later, she does a half ironman, and then, a full ironman in 12 hours. Very cool! What amazes me is how many events many of these people do. This lady has done about 55 events over the last decade. Wow!
