Of the ones I have done, I would rate them in this order
- Whistler 20
- Tremblant 18
- Penticton 16
- Placid 16
- Texas 13
Can't comment on Florida, Arizona, Madison, Louisville as I have never done them. No disrespect to Texas....it is an awesome race and I plan to go back. There are just things that resort races offer that urban races cannot match. If you take triathlon out of the picture, how many people will go to vacation in Houston over Whistler? By the way, I am getting on a plane in 3 hours to go to Houston and I see all the good aspects of that place too. If you put an IM in suburb of Chicago or Toronto, they would not rate above 15 on a scale of 20. They just won't because of where they are.
