  • Comments: The race set up was great. Best Ironman set up in my opinion anywhere. I think due to the carnage on the bike course they should have thought about shortening the bike route to 1 loop. It felt very unsafe and nerve racking waiting for the possibilities of someone flying into you or falling down in front of you. I don't know if I would feel the same if I did not see the one horrible accidents and at least 5 other smaller ones. On to Ironman Maryland for hopefully some better weather and revenge.

  • Comments: What a tremendous experience. A co worker of mine said the day I was leaving, "you've been depositing the money for months now, just go cash the check". He was right. Trust your training. What an amazing time. Becoming an ironman isn't just the physical and mental effort. It's family and friends. My wife picked up a few extra chores for me to allow me to train. We made some plans around it too. That said, I'm no pro and skipped a few sessions for family plans. When my so. Asked me about doing an ironman and I wasn't sure, he said "you always tell us, if you want something, work hard and you can do it". So I did. As ironman says "anything is possible" Mont Tremblant is a fantastic venue for family. Easy to get around and loads to do. We had an awesome vacation with an ironman.
