New user  45  Surrey, British Columbia |  Subject: Subaru 5150Anyone considering this race? I'm not too sure about where the swim is located(always thought that side was a bit dirty with the float planes and still water) or the looped bike course, but the run portion will be awesome. Also waiting for the Games coming to Vancouver in August. They haven't released any course information yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out more about this event! It hasn't been advertised much yet considering how big the event is going to be. |

Master 4452  | Subject: RE: Subaru 5150 I am planning on doing it. Swim has to be better than last year, when a buoy broke loose. I was sighting it off to my left, then further to my left, then further to my left ("man am I ever drifting right") when all of a sudden it is moving to my right as a paddle boarder had grabbed it and was attempting to replace it.... Too much current at Jericho for my liking |

It was hard to pace how many strokes until the next buoy. I always found it felt like I swam forever to the first only to swim by the second in a matter of seconds and then have to swim even further to get back! It definitely will be a spectator event! |

I'm new to bc triathlon and excited for this event! TThere isn't much of a current at all in Coal Harbour. It's fairly protected. The only downside is that because there is no current, the water kind of just sits there. Jericho beach on the other hand for iron girl I August will have a much stronger current. The run on this event will be nice because the trees will actually provide some shade. Same goes for the ride. Will have to be careful coming down the hill from top of the park. I have a feeling people will be racing through there and there will be crashes if people aren't mindful of the other riders. Should be fun though! |

New user 45 Surrey, British Columbia | Subject: RE: Subaru 5150 Ahhh, I've got some injury on top of my right foot! I'm hoping not a stress fracture. Eeeeeek. I might have to switch to the aqua bike, but I will be there! It's kinda nice they have an aqua bike option for those with running injuries. Penticton has this option this year, which is awesome. I hope to sign up for that race next year if the work schedule allows! Heading to Sasamat lake soon to start some outdoor swims. Possibly this weekend Has anyone been yet? I feel so slow right now in the pool. I'm going to have to look at some swim clinics if i want to get faster. Happy Training guys. |
