  • Comments: Trying to get my bib number at 6:30 am sucked! They put a list of the bib numbers outside, and nobody noticed them. Everybody lined up inside and once I got to the front of the line they asked me what my bib number was - "bib number?" I said "I don't know, you tell me..??" Then she directed me back outside to get the number and line up all over again. This happened to 90 percent of the people in line! Next time they should have the bib numbers at the desk where you actually get your bib! Seems like a no-brainer to me. Other than that, the race was fairly organized.

  • Comments: Having a course right in Toronto is a good experience but I don't think I will do it again. The give-it-try is too short for me now and I don't see the fun of doing 3 loops on the island for the bike course. The course is still very well organised and it is always a pleasure to see that MSC is putting the safety first in the organisation of the race. Godd job guys ;)

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this for a first timer. I did find out that some people use this race as a sprint warm up for the next day (talk about freaking myself out!). I do wish there was a way to see on the results page (which was up quickly) who were doing it for the first time ever and who were just doing it again. I am totally doing this race again next year with my mom who will be a first timer!
