First Ironman distance - Ironman Canada 2011
With Team Newton and all the other numbers from 69-90's, it was a beautiful course. The mass start of 2,800 plus people was a bit rattling but once past the initial shock the water was beautiful with the air bubbles from the swimmers being highlighted by the morning rays from the sun. The bike course was a single loop from Penticton down to Osoyoos and Richter's Pass was a pain, and I realized my nutrition popped out my jersey..all of it and settled for Powerade for the rest. Excellent scenery and it got extremely hot out there. The run course was terrific starting in downtown Penticton on the Lakeside road going down Main street and onto a roller coaster ride of a run. Really, really hot now but the aid stations at every mile was great. I felt sorry for the people in the back when the aid stations ran out of water at the end of the race. With the first one under my belt, it's time to go back at it again and potentially knock off an hour.
