For those that are interested, there is a new triathlon series debuing this year. It's called the Ontario Triathlon Series (I think), and will include the following races:

Windsor Triathlon
Leamington Tomatoman
Sarnia (Bluewater Tri?)
Chatham Tri
Loaring Triathlon

and possibly 1 or 2 others. All the races are/will be OAT-sanctioned. One of the key differences for this series is the fact that all the triathlons involved have as a main focus charitable fundraising. As an example the Loaring Tri raises money to fund breast cancer research. For those triathletes in southwestern Ontario, I suggest that you look into these races as well. In order to help support the series, I've become a Level One OAT official

Oh no, no more drafting around Rennick anymore

Do you know if the new series has a website? I believe that the Leamington kids of steel race is also part of a new KOS series too.

Dave

I believe you're right about the KOS thing. There isn't a website up yet, but I believe they were planning for end of March. I'll throw the link out as soon as I know it.

here is my plan.

Step One: get my arm healed and cast off April 11

April 30 Billy Taylor Memorial 5km Run

June 10 Lakeside Sprint Tri

June 18 TomatoMan Open Water Swim (1500m or 3000m)

June 24/25 Guelph Lake 1 Sprint

July 1/2 C3 Sprint Relay Tri with sisters (I'll do the bike portion)

July 17 Toronto Give-it-a-Tri

Sept 2/3 Guelph Lake 2 Sprint (most improved time between G1 and G2 wins a wetsuit!!)

I'm also looking into doing an adventure type race with my aunt.  We were going to do the Storm The Trent, but then I went and broke my arm and I don't think I'll be ready in time.  Any suggestions for other similar races? 

I still have 3 more triathlons to go this season:

August 6 - Kingston, K-Town, International distance

August 20 - Brockville, Thousand Islands, Olympic distance

September 2 - Ottawa, Canadian,  Half Ironman

That's a great idea! I will put together a spreadsheet this weekend with all the races that I can find and post it to the BT Ontario forum. If everyone replies with their updates I will consolidate and post the spreadsheet.

There are a TON of races in Ontario, we're damn lucky. I think there's something going on almost every weekend and in some weekend races are double booked. It's amazing!

Anyway, here's my plan for '07.

This year, I will be doing less triathlons due to lack of funds.  I have penned in 3 triathlons that will definitely be doing and one "maybe":

1. Jun 16,  Ottawa River Keeper, Ottawa, Ontario (maybe)
2. Jul 15, Graham Beazley HIM, Carleton Place, Ontario
3. Aug 5, K-Town Long-Course Triathlon, Kingston, Ontario
4. Sep 1, Canadian Iron Triathlon, Ottawa, Ontario

ok here is what I am thinking for this summer... I have to check dates, and this can all change based on school.  I'd like to do GL 1 and 2, Bellwood, Lakeside, Storm the Trent (adventure race, with my aunt that we were supposed to do last year until I broke my arm, and then she went and broke her arm) Kingston might be fun.  Spend the weekend with my sister and brother in law.  and in the fall I'm going to try to do the Toronto 1/2 mary.  Oh yeah. and I think I'll be in Kentucky for Aug.. so that may change things too. 

Basically, I have no idea what I am going to do.   

Lets see...

Around the Bay 30k Relay
Victoria's Duathlon (volunteer if I need the hours)
Milton Sprint
Guelph Lake I Oly (A)
Brampton AG Nats (just to say I did)
Belwood Sprint
Volunteer at GLII Oly again
Owen Sound Oly (A)
NOTL Duathlon
A half-mary somewhere?

Umm Toronto Half please.  Give me someone to run with
