The season
started with a fourth place finish in an 80km race in Montr�al.
The event served as a warm-up for the Canadian Para Tandem
Championships in Beauce, Quebec on June 25-28.
Competing
with his new pilot, Phil Bergeron, Frost finished fifth
on the track and fourth in the road race.
"It's
been a pretty productive year, all things considered,� says
Frost. "Whenever you have a new pilot it takes a year or
two to get to the top of your game.�
The 52-year-old
didn't skip a beat in trading in his tandem bike for a set
of golf clubs. Despite having a few issues with his putter,
Frost still managed to finish in a tie for 14th place competing
against some of the best blind golfers in North America
at the Canadian Open Blind Golf Championships in Cranbrook,
B.C. on July 12-13.
His low
net score of 149 was good enough to place him second in
his category which is golfers with five degrees of sight
or less. the other categories are total blindness or five
degrees of sight or more..
"Overall
I'm happy with my results so far,� says Frost. "I'm gaining
momentum with each tournament. I just need to tweak my putting
to lower my scores on the green.�
Next up
for the multi-sport athlete is the Ontario Blind Golf Championships
which are being held next month in Hamilton.
