Thanks to everyone who took part in the 30th
Annual Winterlude Triathlon!
It was an epic week in terms of weather
swings and course modifications, but you were all very supportive and we hope
you enjoyed your day.
Thanks also go out to the National Capital
Commission, Capital Property Management (take care of the Canal), Lafleur de la
capitale (ski course grooming) and our major sponsor Bushtukah.
Special thanks go to all the volunteers
who stood around for several hours while participants at least got to work up
some body heat to stay warm.
Go HERE.
We know we ran out of long sleeve
shirts. If you DID NOT GET ONE, we have
your name on a list and will have some made up.
Once that has been done, we will contact you. We do apologize for this. Math was never my strong suit.
2012—perfect day
2011—perfect day, sort of: awesome skating
conditions, but the ice got too flooded and the run course was washed
away. Run was dangerous and shortened to
3k. Enter the two loop ski course!
2010—a normal year
2009—a normal year—skate, ski, run.
2008— Ice was very bad from Dows Lake to
Bank St, so we rearranged things to skate from Bank St bridge downtown and
back, run 5k carrying skates in a snow storm, ski on powder.
2007—no skate, no ski. Enter the Really Cool 8k Run
2006—no ice, so it was an 8k run and 7k
ski.
2005—no ice, hardly any snow, so we moved
location to Terry Fox Athletic Facility for a 5k ski, 5k run, 5k ski.
2004—normal race conditions, though stand
to be corrected
2003—normal race conditions
Thanks
again.
