Event comments:

The pick of race packages was a mess, the shuttle service to get there was shut down, and the volunteers had no idea waited for a hour then was told to walk, not a good way to start the experience but over all it all worked out, good time, ok result, learned some things, would suggest this course to any first timers oput there.

Performance: Good
Course: Fairly Flat compared to what I have been trying to train for (Muskoka) felt ok legs got a little tight but had lots left after the finish, middle of the race 7 km - 14km went way to easy, really had no idea what I could do at the end, never ran more then 19 in training.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
