  • Hey there folks. This will be my first go at Victoria. Doing this 70.3 en route to IM Canada in July. Excited to do this one so close to home - no need to pack bike is a bonus. Have not studied the route at all, so no real goals in mind yet, but I did well at Austin in 2015, hoping to build on that effort and make IMC more fun/less slog. This was to be a family race - brother/sister-in-law and wife were all going to do it, but injuries and work etc, seems I will be the only one doing it.
  • I'm racing Victoria also. This will be my second 70.3 after Lake Stevens last year, and it's a B race for me before IM Canada. 

    The new bike course looks hilly (2500-2800 foot gain), but not quite as bad as Lake Stevens was. The hills are back-loaded in the last third of the course -- good practice for IMC! Here's a review of the new course: http://yearofalison.blogspot.com/20...ourse.html

    The run course looks really nice, on a flat path around the lake. The new swim, not so much (murkier part of the lake than the area used in past years). But there is ample parking near transition now and logistics should be easy.

    Brenda, I updated my TSR to add Victoria a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it hasn't updated in the system yet.
