Subject: RE: Woodstockmgalanter - 2011-06-09 9:54 AM "Milk" is the title sponsor for the Multisport Canada Series ( in the past they were known as the HSBC series). Its run by John Salt who does a wonderful job making it safe and fun - I've done about 20 races with them in the past 5 years and I enjoyed every one of them. The distances vary - some sprints are 'true sprints' (half of an Olympic) and some are 'extended sprints' (1/2 olympic swim and 3/4 olympic bike and run). I find that its a great series for bringing my kids along - the locations are often kid friendly, and they make sure their race locations have clean water for swimmimng. The competition level might be a little more relaxed than the Subaru series which seems to attract the more elite fields (thought there are always a few elite racers at the 'Milk' series races too). Agree with what Mark said. Excellent series - very well organized, safe, fun, somewhat smaller races than Subaru, friendlier, and better food. I think they are the 2nd largest tri series in Canada now. They've been around for over 10yrs, was sponsored by HSBC, and now milk this yr. So according to John Salt, you will get chocolate milk as recovery drink after every race this yr. Since racing with them, I seldom do the Subaru races anymore. |
