Who's in for Muskoka 70.3 next year?

Signed up the moment I got the email from Trisport North. This is the first HIM for my husband and me and the locations perfect. We have a cottage an hour south. There should be a group ride in May on most, if not all of the route. We'll be doing it.

Wow I explained all the cost involved with this race to the dear wife and she's all for it.

Now to double check room rates etc and see if theres still room at Deerhurst or Hidden Valley. Online application appeared to be working this morning, so I could be officially Muskoka bound later today

Might get to work on the Passport thing too, since eventually they'll be needed (think it's been pushed back again for land crossings) and I keep putting it off.

I was drinking beer on a dock in Muskoka when I read in the local paper that a 1/2 iron race was coming to the area. Decided then and there to sign up for it ending my two year hiatus from racing. It's a great venue and Trisport organizes great races. Now I will likely have to again suffer through the furnace that is the Peterborough Half in preparation.

My husband and I are in for this race! We've rented a cottage...I can hardly wait!

Surprised to see this thread pop up again. I'm out, couldn't find a room close so the DW could walk back and forth to catch the race. Maybe another year. I'm sure it will be a great race.

I'll be there cheering everybody on! I'm not ready for a HIM yet, but my buddys realtives have an amazing cottage right on the course that were gonna stay at for the race.

I've been on the waiting list for Muskoka 70.3.. just got an email that I got a spot in the race !  I'm so excited... see you all on Sept. 14 !

congrats! that's awesome cathy. I'm so excited for this and I'm not even racing.

I'm excited... so what if I have no place to stay, I'll sleep in my car if I have to !!!

I'll be there too! looks like it's going to be a great race at a great venue. The course looks fast.

see you all at the race!,

Geoff

Cathy...

I looked for cottages online and found a great one for a decent price. We are travelling all the way from NC so we're making it a vacation but I am sure if you look, you may be able to find a place to rent for the weekend. To be honest...renting a cottage turned out to be cheaper than staying at a hotel or the Deerhurst or Grandview. Something to definately consider...good luck!

If you wouldn't mind camping there's always Arrowhead Provincial Park:

I considered this to save on $$$. Ontario parks are normally real nice, usually with electrical hookup and decent bath/shower houses.
