Any Crazy Canucks in the house?
In an effort to be a good Canadian TeamEN ambassador while promoting "cross-border" relations and keeping NAFTA alive and well, just checking to see if there's any other Canadians in the Haus 
Anybody doing any events up here in 2010? Ironman Canada? Coming to Vancouver for the Olympics? etc etc.
Now if we could only get some SNOW on the mountains - that might help the Olympic cause....
although I aint complaining since I'd rather run outside than on the dreadmill!

Born in Fort Smith, NWT, lived in Ottawa for 20 plus years, moved to Toronto after university and then off to CA in 1987. Visit parents and friends in Canada, but never in the winter and always curse the bugs, black flies etc. every time we go back. Don't miss it

Another Canadian here. I 'm starting to lobby to have a "endurancenation.ca" link, but I'll have to be stealth about it in case R&P have international franchise plans underway.
I'll be taking a swing at IM Canada, assuming I can snag a qualifying spot at a mid-season race. Is that race on your radar, Tavis? Any itel on where to stay? I tried to prebook a room a few weeks ago, and it was an aggravating experience!
Another Canadian here. Born and raised in Medicine Hat and living in Calgary. I'll be at Ironman Canada. A bunch of us are staying at the Summerland Resort about 10-15mins away from Penticton. I'm still lobbying to get the data tool in metric but who knows if the EN way starts taking over the world we just might get an endurancenation.ca
Another Canadian checking in. I live in Saskatoon again. Born and raised here in Saskatchewan but did some moving around with work. Three years in Ottawa, 1 in Edmonton then back to Saskatoon.
I'll be doing IMC. I signed up to shock myself in to training. See you in Penticton in August.
As for all those that don't like the cold I love winter. I'm looking forward to skiing next weekend.

Awesome to hear from ya'all!
Over here in Vancouver, the weather has been amazing - which isn't so great for the upcoming olympics considering the local mountains are BARE. I have been running outside all through the outseason in shorts and t-shirt and it was actually colder down in Vegas in December than here for crying out loud. Ah well, no complaints since it makes for pleasant running in the evenings
Yep, I'll be doing Ironman Canada so Gordon, Wayne & Dave - let's deffo keep in touch. We've rented a house the couple times which works better for our sizable crew - I know the owner of this particular house so that's been fairly easy for me but I know there's a few sites online that post houses for rental - but usually for minimum 5 night stay. It is definitely a gong-show trying to book hotels as all the athletes pretty much reserve a spot as soon as they register. Keep me posted on your hunting and I'll see if I can suss anything out for you!
Keep in touch everyone and glad to meet all you other Canadians!! (past, present and future?) Look forward to a TeamEN gathering up at IMC in August! Viva Endurancenation.ca!
