"It was a bit disappointing because I was playing well and I felt pretty confident." Alaily did recover to win the consolation division, defeating Chris Ritchie of London in the final 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. "The way it turned out, finish- ing fifth in Canada is pretty respectable," said the 6-foot, 145- pound Oakville Trafalgar student said. "Still, I could have finished third or fourth.

In return, 10 current TFI mem- bers can join the Team XL program and take advantage of Price- Gallagher's expertise for an addi- tional cost of $200. Now the 24-year-old Appleby College graduate wants to allow fel low triathletes and cross-trainers to get maximum training through an innovative business he started up earlier his year. Price-Gallagher and partner Mark Young of Dundas have nego- tiated a deal that will allow 20-25 athletes to train with top coaches using state-of-the-art testing and exercise training programs at The Fitness lnstitute's Olympic High Performance Centre in Willowdale at reduced membership rates. Modelling itself on the "European-style training" concept, coaches from all three disciplines in the triathlon - running, swimming and cycling-have been hired by Team XL to be on hand at Fitness Institute for training sessions during the week. The beauty of it, Price-Gallagher says, is that specialized training will 'he under the same roof". There are nine sessions weekly - four swimming, three running and two cycling.

And Angela Coughlan, 1968 Olympic bronze medalist swimmer, takes care of swimming. The coaching staff also includes Alaily felt he should have been seeded but an elbow injury forcing him to miss last year's indoor nationals had something to do with It. Oakville Beaver staff For the past four years, Oakville's Matt Price-Gallagher has been a top-tlight national and provincial triathlete. Now the 24-year-old Aoolebv Turek was also Alaily's nemesis in doubles action. Alaily teamed up with Ritchie and, seeded fourth, the pair lost to Matthew Walsh and Turek in the semifinals, 6-2, 6-2.

To start, Team XL members get an initial test to see where their fit- ness levels are at and what their goals are. Training and weight- training programs are specifically designed for them. "They fit swimming, biking and running training session into their daily schedule," Price-Gallagher said.

Worthington, who's retired from rowing but is now getting into triathlons. says a special place where triathletes can train together under one locale is overdue. "The idea of marketing a triathlon training is great," said Worthington. 33. "For me having been an athlete training at the national level I'm used to the attention to detail," she said. "Ptople get to know you and what levels you've at. You have group interaction but you're still really by yourself."
