IRONMAN Canada
-
Very drizzly this evening, but absolutely gorgeous! Had fun navigating through the village, checking out the local restaurants, walking trails, and some pretty brave mountain bikers showing off their tricks on the slopes. The rain is supposed to clear up by Friday, but rain or shine I am very excited for the festivities! I can definitely spot Ironpeople everywhere ????

It is a beautiful morning in Whistler with the current temperature sitting at 8C/47F. Out at the Alta Lake, the water is glass like with no clouds in the sky. It is going to be a warm day for those racing as the Environment Canada is calling for the temperature to reach 27C/81F.

A pack of five men are leading are leading out the men's field. We know Paul Ambrose and Marino Vanhoenacker are in there.

Course record here in Whistler for the swim is Bryan Rhodes - NZL (48:45) and Christine Hammond - USA (48:45).

Anna Cleaver from New Zealand leads the women's race with an unidentified women on her heels. If we were to guess who is trailing Cleaver we would say it would be Bree Wee.

The two-loop, 26.2 mile run course follows the meandering Valley Trail past Lost Lake and Green Lake allowing spectators to reinvigorate athletes with a return through Whistler Village at the halfway point of the run. Athletes repeat the same loop a second time before finishing adjacent to Whistler Olympic Plaza.

At 13 km into the run, Vanhoenacker has a 11:47 lead on Wurtele who is now running in second.
