  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Going into this race I really had my doubts about how I was going to do. This season, I somehow managed to train very little. I went out swimming less than a dozen times and probably had about 4 long rides all of which were around the 75K mark or under. I did manage to run a bit this year but again, mostly 1 hour or shorter sessions. This lack of training really showed, especially on the bike. With all of that said, I was within 1 minute of my time from last year which is pretty good. Overall, a good race, made great by fantastic weather, great crowd support and yes, a decent result all considering.

  • Comments: Great race!! Everything ran really smoothly, the volunteers were great espically the kids on the run course who offered me more water even though I had a gatorade in one hand and a water in the other. I had to tell them that I didn't have anymore hands for it. One boy was having way too much fun asking athletes if they wanted to be sprayed with a garden hose and if they did, he would soak them.

  • Comments: This was perhaps the best organized event I have ever attended. From the intital check in to get my race package to the end everything went smoothly. The number of people involved in setting up an event of this magnitutde is unbelievable and I will certainly be out doing some volunteering next year.

  • Comments: This is a phenomonal venue and the Canadians who volunteer are just great people - friendly, helpful, etc. The course is an ass-kicker, both the b bike and the run, but it is well worth it - just make sure to train harder next year!
