Veteran 268 Kauai girl now in MIll Creek/Silver Firs | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! sulross - 2012-10-11 2:42 PMThe way everyone reacted to Tahoe is how I feel about Whistler! Bring it! If I hadn't signed up for Tahoe, I'd be all over this one. Hard to beat Whistler; what a stunning venue. Looks like I've got my 2014 race picked. Edited by KauaiShan 2012-10-11 4:50 PM |

Good thing I'll be MOP... that moose will be tired by then. Who said there's only one moose? I just said you'll have to wrestle A moose, not that it will be the same one as everyone else! You will also have to have a shot of maple syrup when you cross the finish line. |

Extreme Veteran 870 | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! Seeing as how I live in Kelowna, Challenge Penticton is in my backyard. Always wanted to do IMC but Whistler is too far for me when I've got another race so close :p Whistler will be a beautiful location for IMC though and IMO is the best decision for that race. |

Veteran 266 | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! So now I have to look at moving there for at least a year instead of a ski season. Whistler was already at the top of my list for places to bum around for a ski season, now they're gonna have a IM there too! Another addition to the bucket list for sure. |

Pro 4200 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! Interesting venue. I've been there many times and love the area. I would have thought it would have been more suitable for an Xterra event given the huge MTB presence there. Where is the swim going to be? |

Veteran 178 Citrus Heights Gold member | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! Another cool venue...good back-to-back location choices for WTC! After I check Tahoe off my list in '14, Whistler will be taking it's spot on the bucket list. |

I would have thought it would have been more suitable for an Xterra event given the huge MTB presence there. Where is the swim going to be? There are two lakes in Whistler my guess would be Greenlake - but there is another lake in Whistler Now what would be super cool - IM sea to sky. point to point race, start in Vancouver end in Whistler. The running from Creekside to Whistler village at the end of an ironman would be pretty challenging though. I said no more Ironmans for a long time, but I'm super excited about this. Hmmm.... |

Daffodil - 2012-10-11 5:08 PM And here I am thinking that I HAVE to do this race and I live in Ontario I'd be up for Whistler in a year or two, but not this coming summer, I've been spending enough money, so one I won't need a hotel for is a big plus  |

Master 1813 Coquitlam, BC Bronze member | Subject: RE: Did ya hear the news? IM Whistler! Dumb dumb dumb. Rainbow Park is really small, there's no parking & no access and it's quite a ways off from the highway. There has been Xterra races there for a couple years - GREAT venue for that for sure. And the same weekend as Challenge Penticton? REALLY???? |
