Bio
"My name is Lyall Chalmers and I’m 33 years old. I grew up on a farm just out of Edmonton with my three older siblings.
I moved to Victoria in 2009. I worked as a cook for over a decade, but now I’m a red seal mechanic and I work at the Land Rover/Jaguar dealership. My wife, Amanda, is a teacher. We got married in 2015 and we have a daughter and a dog.
First, I’m an ultra runner. Second, I’m a cyclist.
Within the last year I’ve completed a marathon, a solo 50km trail run, the Yeti 24hr challenge, and a 100 mile bike ride. I finished top 20 in the virtual TC10K, virtual Bear Mountain 10k, and the Frontrunners Covid Classic virtual half marathon.
I started running in my 30’s. I’m a competitor and a fighter. I work my ass off and don’t quit. I’m all in on becoming a better athlete. I continue to try new sports, push my limits and learn how much I can accomplish.
Love the adventure. Love the challenge
