  • Australia's Jason Lowndes Sprints to Victory in 2015
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 11, 2015 AUSTRALIA’S JASON LOWNDES SPRINTS TO VICTORY IN 2015 BRENCO CRITERIUM ~ Four-time Canadian Criterium National Champion Wins Women’s Race Ladner, BC – His rider profile on the Garneau-Quebecor website says that one of his nicknames is “Sleepy Jase”, but he proved to be anything but sleepy on Saturday night as Jason Lowndes won the 2015 Brenco Criterium in a sprint to the finish line on the final lap. His official time to complete the 60-lap, 54 kilometre race was one hour, 13 minutes, and 25 seconds. The 21-year-old just edged North Vancouver’s Ryan Anderson of Team Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies and Astellas Cycling Team rider Brandon Feehery to take the victory. The orange helmets of Optum were prominent in the final laps of the race, as it looked like they’d be able to hang on for the win. “There was a whole Optum lead out train there and they’ve proved to be strong absolutely everywhere, but I was pretty keen to test my ability against them and was pretty surprised to come out on top,” said Lowndes, who’s from Kalgoorlie, Australia. “I’ve been sprinting pretty well this year, so I’m pretty happy.” The Brenco Criterium is an extremely fast course, which sees riders navigating the tight corners of the downtown core of the historic fishing village of Ladner. The speed of the race was on display especially a quarter of the way through when close to 15 riders were lapped and subsequently withdrawn from the field.

    Sunday, September 24, 2017 Board of Directors, Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) c/o Dawn Haworth CASEM Executive Director Re: Medal of Service Award 2017 Dear Members of the CASEM Board I would like to nominate Dr. Jack Taunton for the CASEM Medal of Service Award 2017. Throughout his entire distinguished career, he has totally epitomized the nature of this inaugural CASEM award. He is a long-time member of our organization, and has participated on or been the Chair of numerous CASEM Committees. His skills and leadership cover all of the nomination criteria – service in the field of event planning and/or team coverage, service to Canadians to help raise the standards of sport and exercise medicine in Canada, and personal contribution to the advancement of the art and science of sport and exercise medicine. A number of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the field are summarized in the accompanying short biography. I will highlight other pertinent facts from his (very lengthy) C.V., as well as the summaries of his most recent successful grant applications (from the CCV), and the list of selected publications from the past 2 years. He has taught and mentored innumerable learners – from athletes and coaches, to athletic therapists, physical therapists, medical students, residents from many disciplines, Fellows in Sport and Exercise Medicine and colleagues in a variety of settings, and in numerous countries. Many of them have gone on to become prominent clinicians and/or researchers, and to make contributions in their own rights, including establishing and running Fellowship programs in Sport and Exercise Medicine at their respective institutions.

Double the rush: go heli-biking. ADVENTURE In British Columbia a number of companies now offer mountain bikers a thrilling ride up and down some of the best TRAVEL peaks in the region. TRAVEL “Bikes are getting heavier, more than fifty pounds,” says Jeff Stovin, a heli-bike guide for Black Tusk Helicopters in Squamish. “It’s not much fun to go up a mountain on one of them, but it sure is fun to go down!” See "Heli-biking to Heaven" on page 6 The Queen of Rides Life is too short to miss her BY MARK LANSING very cyclist has a favorite bike ride, and I deeply suspect that every bike ride has a Efavorite cyclist.
