daughters wish turns stpufrville dad into top triathlete when megan derry tearfully confronted her father with his 50- cigaretteaday habit a few years ago the frightened youngster had no idea she was initiating a chain of events that would see her dad winging his way to gold coast australia to compete in the 1991 triathlon world championships next month but thats exactly what dave derry is about to do as the free lance film industry key grip tunes his body for the gruelling ordeal that awaits down under dave who resides on the bethes- da sideroad just west of stouf- fville qualified to make the trip as part of the triathlon canada national team when he finished 11th in the recent muskoka triathlon the muskoka swimcyclerun event was the culmination of a summer spent chasing down just about every triathlon held in south ern ontario dave won his age group in this years stouffville strawberry festi val triathlon in july and he placed second in competitions at niagara- onthelake and guelph he finished third in the toronto v world cup affair in milton and logged a third at a peterborough race as well the father of three will be the first to admit hes come a long way since entering his first triathlon after granting daughter megans all consuming christmas wish that he quit smoking in 1989 dave took up jogging to help him appre ciate his rediscovery of fresh smokefree air he had promised his daughter he would chuck the butts the year before in the spring then fall became the target date as the pledge kept going unfulfilled then my daughter got upset remembers dave she came up to me and told me youre going to die that was good enough for dad he swore off cigarettes immediate- but the demon weed had taken its toll and his participation in his first triathlon the strawberry festi val triathlon in the summer of 1990 was a less than awesome athletic display in fact dave recalls it as a lamentable ordeal at best i almost died he now concedes i hit the water in my boxer style bathing suit and the water was freezing all i knew how to do was the backstroke i did the bicycle part on a mountain bike and all i remember was that people were going past me like rockets i was staggering at the transition point in the end i was just surviv ing not competing but that was last year after his initial experience dave proceeded to go put and buy a proper bike then began training nightly at the york university facility until he started to develop some stamina he started entering more triathlons as his conditioning came along and the rest you might say is history now that hes made the national team his main concern evolves around just how hes going to pay his way to the land of the kangaroo and crocodile dundee hes responsible for his own air fare accommodation and food as well as other incidental expenses and hes hoping he just might stumble across a sponsor looking for a little international exposure once he gets there hes in for the triathlon of a lifetime the pro
