Hey all, did you see that there is a new Ironman distance race in Ontario? Just announced.

http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/news/articles/2014/07/ironman-musk...

Late August race in Ontario, sounds like perfect conditions. WTC also moved Muskoka 70.3 upto July, so the two races can be paired-up - the 70.3 as a 'training' race and the IM as the main event. I like what WTC is doing in terms of pairing-up races. It makes alot of sense from a training standpoint, and I would imagine from a risk standpoint as well. I bet that they continue to pair-up races. Princeton 70.3 and IMMD could be another set of paired-up races for 2015. Raleigh 70.3 and IM Chattanooga?

In any case, I'm taking 2015 off from a full distance IM standpoint, but might consider Muskoka in 2016. We'll see...it all depends on how IMMT goes in a few weeks.

Brian

ps. I'm sure the WTC/IM haters will come out in force and find ways to hate this announcement, but if you have that much time to hate, perhaps you should find a new hobby.

All i can say is 'ouch' - but it will be a great race - definitely not for the faint of heart, or hill climbing legs!

I am signed up for this race as well. I am doing Muskoka and Couer d'Alene next year. They will be Ironman number 4 and 5 for me.

I was hoping someone would start an official race thread.
Oh, and since Lake Tahoe was canceled this year I added it to Couer d'Alene and Muskoka. So 3 Ironmans in 3 months.
