The course is unchanged from last year with exception for slight re-routed transitions with longer transition legs.
There was a long narrow carpet laid for entering the T2, which required a little skill. The rain came at us since beginning and running through the transitions felt like a warm feet mud bath.

This year was one of my slowest years by 1-3 minutes. 1:14. Also the fact that I was trying to see through the rain in my sunglasses didn't help. I was lucky to stay on the bike course as it was a challenge following a straight line. In terms of conditions, I guess this can be ranked is one of the rougher ones.
I was lucky enough to catch up with a few friends after the race as we got dumped with loads of rain, which made the trip worth it to Cultus Lake.

| Up and rising in the triathlon ranks, Joshua volunteered at the medical tent. Classy wetsuit wardrobe. As they say no such thing as bad weather, just poorly dressed people. |
