Subaru series 2012

RIP Belwood.  Looks like I may only do Milton and maybe Niagara with the subaru series this year (unless I get wind that they repaved the bike course for Guelph Lake).

Here's an ugly google maps map showing the 3 big series' 2012 schedules in Ontario as of right now:

Muskoka is also a month later.

I wonder if some of the shuffles are due to the Toronto 5150 race.

Edit: and the date or Day of week for Guelph II is wrong.

Where is huronia?  Barrie?  I can't find a city name or map or address on the race page, and all I know is that Barrie and Peterborough were both in the "Huronia region" when I did club swimming.

I don't think Subaru is quite done updating their site.  If you click on many of the races, they give last year's dates, which is probably where my muskoka date came from.  The muskoka page says June 25/26, but the sidebar thingy says July 22.  And as you point out, the GL2 date is wrong on both the sidebar and main page.

I updated with a corrected date for Muskoka, a guessed date for GL2, and I'm waiting on John to help me out with my Ontario geography.

Although I am not John, I believe huronia is in penetanguishine (sp????)

Just noticed that the July Muskoka is now a 5150 race.

what a -off; take a perfectly good race with an amazing history and make it fit into the WTC cookie cutter.

was going to do muskoka LC, but won't be doing this.

cheers!

Usually by this time of the year I have my whole season planned but 2012 isn't looking all that happy. 

I'll do the Welland HIM in June and hopefully K-Town will be available but I can't find any olys in August of interest - maybe Somersault's 1000 Islands.  The feedback I've heard wasn't great.  Maybe just stick to sprints and the season ends earlier for me.   Disappointing.  I liked Belwood and Cobourg towards the end. 

Very true!  Lots of options if you want to go north - but traveling back to the city on a Sunday during the summer is not my idea of fun   2 hours can easily turn in to 4 - especially on the 400S

I might try Wasaga this year.  I've heard good things about it too.

I can't do any of the two Guelph Lake tris this year. If I could, I would only do them if they repave the bike course.

I may do Milton and 5i50 Muskoka.

John, can you add a Belwood to your series?

The honest answer is that, in our experience, there are not that many duathletes interested in this distance and we have a limited amount of space for this capped race. This is coupled with the fact that, if we are going to put on an International Duathlon, we believe you should do it properly, which means 10/40/5, not 5/40/10. Our philosophy is to deliver races which are executed in the proper order for each discipline. We won't change the race order to accommodate our logistics. Given that there are a good number of logistical changes you need to make (crew, volunteers, aid stations etc.) to accommodate a 10k run to start, we need to have a reasonable number of athletes competing. 

I hope that answers your question.

My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!!

I love my Somersault Series...but what about a Subaru race east of Peterborough?

Is Tremblant the answer?
