Check it out, you'd hardly know that he used to be a pro triathlete and a world champion at that. Good to see the guy has found a new pashion. I've heard of plenty of pros retiring and not knowing what to do with their lives. Especially when you've been the very best, it must be tough to let it go, pass on the torch so to speak. Triathlon is sooo competitive you rarely see one guy on top for too long. I'd almost venture to say that Peter might have been the last really consistent pros. If you look at his last 10-15 years of racing I think he had the most top finishes. He had a couple rough years in there, but he bounced back and won it again shortly after. If I remember correctly he had 2 fourths, 1 3rd, 3 2nds, 3 wins. I went and checked here is a list of his accomplishments. Yayyyy Canada, hopefully someone canadian will pick up the torch, maybe Samantha? maybe Jasper?
