Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was a great day both for myself as an athlete, and also for Maltese Triathlon. I was awarded the Silver Award for my 2008 results at the Malta Olympic Committee Awards Night. I am very honoured to receive this award since it pays back for the tough season I had especially the first 3 months recovering from pnueomonia. It wasn't easy to get back in shape for Ironman UK and the other end of seasons races but things went the right way, and persistance paid off. This is of great motivation for me to keep trying harder in 2009 and to get better results, aim higher and achieve what is the ultimate target for me, be on the start line at the World Ironman Championships in Hawaii. I have sent out a two year plan starting off from next year and I am doing my best to succeed.

To top up a great night my brother Keith was awarded the Gold Award. This proves to be a big milestone for Maltese Triathlon as this is the best results achieved so far by Maltese Triathletes in these Awards.
I would like to thank my parents, my girlfriend Johanna, my sponsors, my club B'Kara St. Joseph, my UK friends Bill & Pam, and MTA for their help during the 2008 season. You need a strong team to produce a strong performance.
Dermot
