  • Comments: Excellent race Multisport Canada does an amazing job. Thanks to all the volunteers and to John Salt for such a great event. Including options when signing up . Tshirt, Hat or discount for not wanting either. Tons of aid stations for a small course with options. Best event I have attended in Ontario. Will definitely make it to another one of their events. Maybe welland half if I can get myself back in order or gravenhurst sprint next year.

  • Comments: This race has a history of cancelling the swim, and this year was no exception. I think it was too cautious to cancel based on the wind and waves at the time of the race. Although the setting is beautiful, I would likely only think of this race as a class B event considering the risks of the swim being cancelled.

  • Comments: I didn't stay to check race results as we had to rush back to attend hubby's niece's wedding. There was wifi at the reception and I was able to check the results. I came 3rd AG, which means I lead the series by 135pts.

  • Comments: 1st in AG, 5th overall, 2nd fastest overall bike split. Very happy as 1st place got me max pts for Series standings. Looks like I'm the Du Series Champion! Not a bad consolation prize given that I chickened out the 1st tri this season and ended up switching my goal to the du. PS - overall ranking includes 53 men Link to post race newsletter, incl my podium pic - http://www.multisportcanada.com/lakeside-ii-post-race-newsletter.ht...

  • Comments: It was my first race, so it has to be the best, but even I can't find anything wrong with the race. The duathlon made things busy which was cool that you were always competing with people.

  • Comments: This is still my favorite race location and the HSBC / Multisport group does a fantastic job year after year. I had a fun race and would have finished in the top third if I had not gotten DQ'ed. Oh well - there is always next year.

  • Comments: I did as well as I was capable of. I knew this would test me and it did. I'm very satisfied with how I did, especially since I beat my time goal by over 4 minutes. Praise the Lord! It was a joy to share it with my family too.

  • Comments: Multisport does a great job with the races. They have a prerace meeting which is very smart. I really like the grass roots feel of these events. The competition is good, but it is not about money. It is about triathlon.

  • Comments: Good race, but this was the first time there was no food left in tent - a few pieces of watermelon and grapes. There were some 'chicken dogs' though on the barbecue.

  • Comments: Had a hard time getting out of bed and wasn't to excited to go during the drive there. Once at the race was fairly nervous but eventually grew excited. Once I was about half way through swim I was happy to be there and eager to do it again. Definitely enjoyed the race, found it fairly easy and not too sore afterwards, though I was tired and hungry. The course was nice, the water was warm, no car traffic on the bike, and I liked the dirt road for the run. Also a bonus that it was close to home.

  • Comments: Once again HSBC and MultisportCanada put on a great event. Lakeside was the best races I attended this year. I love how the transiton area is located so close to the swim bike and run courses. Very compact but well organized site. The volunteers were very good. The awards were done very well also. Didn't have to wait long for results.
