Canmore Triathlon : Official Thread

I raced this event last year.

It's organized well and has the best post-race spread I've been treated to in any race I've done.

Quarry Lake is tiny, so I suspect the water temp will be warm because of the good weather we've had the last while here.  I thought there was this smell to the water though that was kind of a turn off.  Plus, the swim is confusing where you swim 2.5 laps.  I had no problems, but I have a buddy that we're still not sure if he swam it correctly.

The bike was a 4-looper, I think, with a hill at either end of the loop. 

The run was two 5k loops that is very, very hilly.  Even the downhills were hard because it was such a steep grade to run down.

I'm not sure I'd do the event again, to be honest.  Maybe if it hosts provincials again at some point, but I feel the course would be way better if the bike and run course were different.

Cheers.  Thanks for the info.  Sounds like I'll be getting a big hill workout this weekend!
