I am in for the half iron.  No idea what to expect - all i know is that it can be really hot!

Best of luck to all racing!

Also doing the half.

Starting to think I'm getting a cold.  This could be very miserable.  Sounds like the humidity is supposed to break by sunday though!

i rode part of the half iron course with some people last weekend, it's pretty much continuous hills (Nothing devastating, just never ending) and the swim is really weedy!!!!!

The weediness goes away pretty quick once you're away from shore if I remember correctly, and isn't an issue on the second loop once everyone has shredded it.

alot more weeds on the outside (right hand) side if I remember as well...dont like weeds...fight the crowds...also the bike course is nice rollers, you can generaly get enough speed down one hill to help get you up the next fairly easy...I found that the rollors on the run sucked way more then the bike   can`t coast when running....enjoy and have a blast

scrap my previous post.  I'm doing the half aqua bike.  I seem to have strained my calf muscle and no running for me for a few weeks.

I'm doing the sprint!  My 3rd year in a row.  One of my fave race venues next to Wasaga Beach. 

Can't wait!  Good luck to everyone racing!!!

fun race!!! I had a PR On the bike and run so I'm thrilled!  The swim was not so great, but I guess you can't win them all!

Congrats!! that's no small achievement having both a great bike and run!

I did the half - and the bike was about 4k short of 90k but it was a great event.  I had a great swim for me - a mass start is definitely something to do at least once.  The weather in the am was perfect conditions for biking - no real wind, calm and cool-ish at least for this time of year.  The run was a whole lotta hot (and it was a cooler day overall than it had been in the days leading up). 

The volunteers were really fantastic - it must have been a hard day for them too being out in the heat for so long - thank you thank you thank you!
