    I am in. Just Nike it and get off the fence! image

    Sooooooo Tempted. This race looks like a lot of fun and I think it will be on my "to do" soon. But I'm thinking maybe not for the inagural. I think I'll let them work out any kinks before I line up.

    I am tempted, but like Nemo might want to wait a year. I am thinking Florida might be my first 140.6 - not sure I want to die outside of the USA image

    I am in!! 

    Mt Tremblant is a spectacular place, and I have a good feel about this race venue.  The fence-sitters should hop over to the race side.  I think the course will be spectator friendly, as it is mostly out-and-back, rather than loops.  Tons of "cottage" stuff to do for anyone that might accompany the racer.

    i am almost in for sure... I was going to do IMLP, but with this being later in the summer, it is better as my kids are in camp all summer during the hardest part of training. i think it is going to be a spectacular course. 1st year kinks may be an issue, but things happen!
  • Nemo BrauchNemo Brauch
    Shhhhh, a little birdie told me Carrie Chavez is in :-)

    I'm definitely on the fence. I  was planning on doing IMLP and will be there volunteering.  I am very tempted...

    It looks like it will be a great race site and a wetsuit swim, what could be better than that. Do they have smoothies?

    Wife and I are signed up.

    bike and run course look interesting.  short but steep hills.

    Done....Coach P is off the fence and IN THE RACE. Got the green light from the family...I think after they saw the town there. image Pumped to see everyone at the race...now let's start recruiting others!!

    what's not to like......I'm in.... just a few more hours away from IMLP....Canadians are great..good beer....I can work on my french (curse words mainly.....lol)
    Oh - but another year of watching Coach P zoom by me at an Ironman....oh well..
  • scott dinhoferscott dinhofer
    i signed up, looking forward to this one!

    I'm in and bringing a full crew from North Jersey with me. Love Mont Tremblant. Already booked Les Sommes de Neige suite (with a kitchen) - highly recommended. Ermitage next door is also very nice. Can't wait

     Can someone help me interpret the elevation charts for the bike and the run?  Looks like IM St. George North?  But I just can't tell.

  • John StarkJohn Stark

    OK, just went to Map My Bike and Map My Run and did some comparisons"

    IM MTT Bike Ascent for 112 = ~3,300

    IM MTT Run Ascent  for 26.2 = ??? (Can't find anything)

    By Comparison:

    IMSG Bike Ascent for 112 = ~4,800 feet

    IMSG Run Ascent for 26.2 = ~1,300

    IM CdA Bike Ascent for 112 = ~ 2,900

    IM CdA Run Ascent for 26.2 = ~600

    IMLP Bike Ascent for 112 = 4,400

    IMLP Run Ascent for 26.2 = ~ 675

     

    These probably aren't 100% accurate, but paints the picture for me.  My weakness is hills and I bailed on IMSG last year because of them (I signed up before they even posted the elevation charts - DOH!).  Though I want to do this, I may stick to flatter courses which are my strength.  

    But does sound like a great/beautiful event for you li'l peeps.

    I'm in ! I grew up near there and speak fluently in french so to me it's a must. I absolutely love that mountain !! The village has a very europeen feel to it and it's just beautiful up there. The people are also very friendly. I'm bias though cause i'm a french - canadien living in the states. It will be really challenging but so what . The rewards and sense of accomplishement will be even greater. Lots of time to train and get really lean for this race. We will need it to climb those hills !

    @john
    i am doing AZ with you and feel your pain on MT. you have been writing lots on your FB account about your continued work on Mt Diablo. park your car at the bottom and start doing some hill repeats in the OS, man up and do this!!! it will be epic!
  • John StarkJohn Stark

    @Scott - Ain't gonna happen.  Just like the new IM New York in August = hot, sticky, humid sufferfest.  I prefer to do events where I will suffer, but on my own terms.  :-)  

    Have fun, brotha!

    This is the first IM that i'm tempted to come out of retirement for.
  • pgiesinpgiesin
    I was on the fence for what maybe 2 seconds, I am in! Looks like a fantastic venue. What better way to keep the momentum going after my first IM at CdA this year.
  • pgiesinpgiesin
    Wow, Carrie Chavez, Dan Socie, Coach P! This is bring out all of the top names. This is going to be one for the record books!

    This is the first IM that i'm tempted to come out of retirement for.

     

    Holy shit...

    That would be one expensive race for you, unless you decide to race on the road bike (FYI, Dan sold all of his tri stuff a couple years ago )

  • Jeff BraatenJeff Braaten
    There is a long list of places to stay on the website. Any suggestions?
  • Dan SocieDan Socie

     nah. I've got access to TT bikes and wheels and i'd rent a wetsuit for the race. Pony up for that hummer of an entry fee and I'm good. 

  • Dan SocieDan Socie
    ...but that's still in the future. I'm off to race 100 mile of of killer single track. No crashing this year.

    Cool. Sorta been thinking about taking up long mtn biking. Like, whatever the stuff is where endurance counts more than skillz, which is not to say I don't have/don't want to work on skills, rather I don't want to crash
