We spent last weekend in Muskoka for the Muskoka Chase Triathlon. It’s a 2k swim, 55k bike and 15k run. It was an absolutely beautiful day for the race, sunny and almost no wind. Everyone was a bit worried about the water temperature in the lake. I never heard an official temperature, but the general consensus was that it was in the 62/63 degree range. It felt cold at first but after a few minutes it was fine. The bike ride was hilly and seemed like we were almost never on a flat section. I managed to shave four minutes off from last year. I decide to take it easy on the run and save my sore knee for the next two weeks of hard training and ran a steady 5:30km pace for the 15 k run.
Our neighbors, Paul and Cathy and family made the trip up. Cathy was in the sprint triathlon on Saturday where she placed 3rd in her age group, awesome job and Paul, a very strong cyclist and runner had a great race, and looked strong when I saw him on the run. Maybe a potential new Ironman in the making? It was great to see so Paul and Cathy and family in Muskoka and see many familiar faces from our swim group in Muskoka. It always gives you a bit of a lift when you see a friendly face in the race.
