Saturday, July 7, 2012The Mike Collingwood Memorial TriathlonNews & Updates
The Meech Lake tri has always been one of my favourite triathlons. It's well organized, close by, has an awesome venue and the post race food is a step above. The sponsors and volunteers were amazing and the T-Zones efficient. — Ann-Marie Brady, Ottawa Just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderfully well organized, efficient triathlon yesterday. Haven't done one in a few years and was a little intimidated going in but the volunteers were friendly and helpful and the whole thing was a pleasure to participate in. Well done! — Taunia, Ottawa This really is a gem of a race here in Ottawa. Great water, great roads and no traffic. As always a very competitive field yet also one that can be accomplished by newbies. — Jim Brockbank, Ottawa The lake is clean and calm, hills were challenging and closed roads are always desirable. Last but not least the food was excellent—fresh bagels and the semi-frozen fruit salad! See you in '07. — John St. Marseille, Ottawa The Meech Lake Triathlon was fantastic. Well run and such a beautiful venue! We hope to be out in full force next year! — Ken Garson (Research Associate), The venue is beautiful, the bike course is challenging, the food and prizes were very nice. Looking forward to 07/07/07. — Scott Eavenson, Montreal I enjoyed the race very much, the organization at this event is really good, actually the best. I do a few of these a year with my daughters and the others do not even compare. — Tony Shaw, Ottawa I went in the team competition, doing the swim for my first time ever. I thought the event was really well organized and I had a great time. — Ian A.J. Lorimer, Cornwall Great race—especially the frozen fruit cup at the end. It was the best post race refreshment of all time. — Bob Plamondon, Westboro What a great race! The change to the swim course was well thought-out and a huge improvement over the out-and-back course of the past. (ie. no head-bonkings on the way back!) — Ellen Pazdzior, Ottawa I had a great time at the race, which seemed to run very safely and smoothly from my viewpoint. The food was great at the end. — George Reid Congratulations on organizing a great event, and I will be back next year, hopefully with a better bike and a lot more bike training under my belt! — Jim Norman |
