Comments: The bike portion is tough. Not a closed course. On provincial roads, no shoulder, large bumps. This is not their fault, it is just our poor road maintenance. You need to be pretty much self supported on the bike. First bike aid station is 15km in. Then not another for close to 50km. Just have water or Gatorade.
The run was better. Aid stations about each mile. Water, Ice or Gatorade available. They also had icewater soaked towels for you head. Sprinklers and hoses set up to keep you cool.
This is just a very tough race. The head and humidity and wind make for a very long, tough day.
