  • Comments: I love this venue. It's a great lake, a good bike and a tough trail and road run in a pretty conservation park. This particular day had plenty of rain so the race organizers changed the route to keep athletes clear of flooding and it was fun to race a new course.

  • Comments: I have to admit it was slightly disappointing that there were no awards given out to the swim/bikers. I don't really care about those kinds of things, but yeah... I totally did. This was probably the only time I would have been in a position to stand on a podium, so it sucked to have no acknowledgement of it whatsoever afterward. I did feel like a bit of a second-class citizen. It's not even like I saved much on entry fees. With my late entry, I actually paid more than I would have if I signed up for the full race in advance. Plus there's no T-shirt. From now on I'll probably only do Multisport swim/bikes.

  • Comments: Overall I was proud that I finished the race. I was in a really bad mental spot the whole day which stemmed from the fact that I didn't really want to be there because I was sick. But with Muskoka this fall I needed the OWS experience and practice with transitions. I was proud that I did the whole thing, didn't cave to giving up on the run which is what I really wanted to do.

  • Comments: Bib #1642, 3:23:11.5, 24 c, overcast, 69% humidity, 19 mph S winds. All in all I was pleased with my first Olympic distance Tri. I was very happy with the improvements in my swim. I was happy to have pushed myself to try out the Olympic distance and am feeling confident about my ability to improve this season.

  • Comments: another very well run race. The only thing I would like to see differently is to have a single loop for the swim. The lake is easily big enough to handle it.

  • Comments: Overall a very good day, Had the family out with me, it was Father's day. Had a good race I was hoping to be around the 2hr50 mark, but my run did not work out to well I still was under the 3hr which was nice. Great weather, and a good bike time. Hope sportstat can find my time.

  • Comments: For my first Olympic I'm happy. The exact same course is being run Sept. 2nd. So I'm going to try and really improve over the summer and try again then. I want to do 2:45. Next step on my journey to 1/2 IM = complete!
