  • Comments: Once I recovered sufficiently I went to get my meal ticket only to find the line for food to be longer than I was willing to tolerate. My Dad insisted that I get my scraped leg looked at, and further insisted that I get a tetanus shot. The medical people cleaned the wound, then I packed up and left. I met Katherine at the end of the race, some of her friends were talking to my parents and she was standing right next to them. It was very cool to meet my first US BTer.

  • Comments: I wouldn't do an Ironman to this race because the bike is a loop - the run is a loop - so it's discouraging when you know you have to run the same 5K again and again. I prefer when you start at one point and you finish at another without seeing the same people encouraging you 4 times!

  • Comments: The swim was a little scary with the weeds, the bike was AWESOME - so much fun, and the run was boring. That said, the race was very well organized, the weather was beautiful, and our club had a lot of fun in Montreal. I will definitely consider doing this race again.
