Extreme Veteran  359   Guelph |  Subject: Easiest Half IM in Ontario??I was going to do my first 1/2 IM at Peterborough but I head it was tough. I think the Ottawa 1/2 IM is too easy. Anyone know of a relatively easy 1/2 IM in Ontario? (ie. not a lot of huge hills) |

Extreme Veteran 359 Guelph | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? How tough is not too tough. I guess it's all relative. I've only done 1 1/2 Marathon and my longest open water swim has been 1K. I'm doing 2000m continuously in the pool in about 40 minutes. My 1/2 Marathon time is 2:15 - 2:20. I'm slow as an elephant. How hilly is the bike course. I just want to make the cut off.... Thanks for any info you can give me ! |

Master 1494 Kingston Ontario | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? Ottawa is the easiest one...completely flat. But if that is too easy then I don't know....Peterborough is kinda hilly. K-Town Tri long course is not quite a half IM but has a challenging enough swim and bike course...maybe a good warm up to a harder half Jen |

Extreme Veteran 359 Guelph | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? Thanks Jen! I have to check with my SO, but I think I'll try Peterborough and if I DNF then I can try Ottawa. I like races that are big with lost of people and there doesn't seem to be alot of competitors at Ottawa. I looked into Steelhead in Michigan and that looks cool. I like the fact that the swim is parellel to the shore and not too deep. I hate swimming way out into the middle of a big lake. ....Timmy |

Extreme Veteran 744 Ontario | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? All I can think of for 1/2 IM races in Ontario is Peterborough, Ottawa and Parry Sound. I was going to do Muskoka but it conflicts with a local race so I have signed up for the Steelhead. I'm near Windsor so it is closer for me. I checked the results for the last couple of years and the times for the Steelhead are significantly faster than for Peterborough. Dave |

Extreme Veteran 744 Ontario | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? Yup, Leamington and Muskoka clash. Leamington is only 15 minutes away so I always support that race. Dave |

| 3 | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? I'm doing my first 1/2 IM in Peterborough as well. (I have family there seemed like a good place to start). Then looking at ramping up to the real deal in Ottawa as it is only an hour away for me in Cornwall. I have studied the route and it seems o.k. The bike course is hilly apparently. Maybe I'll see ya there |

Champion 4902 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? The Ottawa 1/2IM is indeed a flat course, hence "easy" as you have pointed out. However, the distance between the transition area and the cycling start/end line is about 1/2 a kilometer, which adds a bit to the time and the energy output. |

Extreme Veteran 359 Guelph | Subject: RE: Easiest Half IM in Ontario?? How many people are usually in the Ottawa 1/2 IM. I like to have lots of competitors to hide in amoungst....especially since I think I'll be at the back of the pack! Is the event well run? |
