Subject: RE: IM CDA vs WI I have done both.
IMHO Wisconsin is better.
I will give you my reasons for saying that.
Cheaper accommodations in WI. They bend you over in CdA.
I liked the mass swim start in WI vs the wave start in CdA.
I liked the bike course better in WI. Nice rolling hills. You are either going up or down. The steep section was like being in the Tour de France. Wall to wall people in costumes that split just as you pass by and chase after you. The climb up in CdA is nice, but once you reach the top the flat section is pretty boring.
The run in downtown Madison is amazing. The run through the University is amazing. Running through and around the football stadium was cool.
I have done IM Wisconsin, Whistler, Lake Tahoe, Coeur d'Alene and Muskoka. Whistler is first on my to do again list with Wisconsin second.
Hope this helps. |
