Okanagan Valley good, Similkameen Valley bad. Well, not bad, but it's where everything bad happens to me: headwind, rain. But it's all worth it for that last 25 kilometer downhill screamer into Penticton. The IMC bike course is a great big open road course with grand scenery. I agree about the single loop course. I went to watch Couer d'Alene this year and didn't like the idea of looping around, although it makes the viewing area much more compact, but the swim has about 5 corners instead of IMC's 2, and the bike looks more technical with all the corners and rolling hills up north.billchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785111423834217448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-89279220287397678702010-09-07T14:23:30.124-07:002010-09-07T14:23:30.124-07:00Steve ... best Ironman venue/cousre and people I h...Steve ... best Ironman venue/cousre and people I have ever been around or particpated in 20 years (florida, lake placid, kona, vineman, cape cod endurance, Couer d' alene, arizona etc.)... if there is only one down side?

Volunteered there last year, did the race this year, and may be going out to volunteer again next year. <br /><br />I had a day I'm going to remember the rest of my life and have been busy digging around finding blogs and race reports to see how other people feel about their day.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-27439918801480673262010-09-04T05:47:57.378-07:002010-09-04T05:47:57.378-07:00Great post Steve!

It's tough to get into an Ironman up here and most of us usually have to do Wisconsin or Louisville so getting into Ironman Canada was just great. Being in Penticton you really feel the history of the event and you can tell the people around there love it as well... I talked a bit about it on my race report too on my blog!Carlos Vilchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667147666292401044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-76275125537833712482010-09-03T16:43:44.349-07:002010-09-03T16:43:44.349-07:00Rappstar,

My Dad became hooked as an Iron-Spectator after traveling to see me race one year -- seeing all those men and women, each with a unique story, is a powerful thing to see! <br /><br />Triathlon is such a cool sport -- where the first ones over the finish line are cheered for just as much as the last ones across. Love it! :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255136788289244187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-56401035756987327842010-09-03T14:11:30.544-07:002010-09-03T14:11:30.544-07:0028th running.
