Event comments:

For my first tri I am happy with this one! It wasn't really planned we just happened to be going through Wawa enroute to a camping trip on Lake Superior, I was looking for a tri all summer that would fit into my schedule and came across this one while researching our trip! I was flloored when they told me I was the 3rd overall adult male, there seemed to be quite a few people doing the race but it turns out a lot of them where doing the team race. Thanks to the organizers and friendly people of this great little Northern Ontario town!
