    At the start of the second in water loop, there is a group of four men that have over a minute gap to a large chase pack.

    At the first swim turn. #IMCanada @LifeSportCoach http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CK2MYrbUsAAgX90.jpg

    Two women women have a 45 second gap on the field as the women's race heads out on their second loop of the swim.
    We are keeping our camera boat well clear of the water safety crews and we are not close enough to determine the race leaders at this time.

    #IMCanada 2 ladies leading the swim a little over half way. Educated guess it's @karen_thibodeau & @laurelwassner http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CK2N8aSVAAAmEOJ.jpg

    Athletes will enjoy a lakeside transition before starting a one-loop, 112-mile bike course that is comparable in difficulty to the bike routes at previous IRONMAN Canada venues. Athletes will travel south into Callaghan Valley, site of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, before heading north on the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Pemberton. A completely flat out-and-back section of Pemberton Meadows Road allows athletes breathtakingly beautiful views of glaciated peaks before returning to Whistler via the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
    Our spotters are reporting that there is a steady rain out on the bike course and the temperature is around 10C/50F.
