I am a slow swimmer (1:13) and a mid pack? biker (5:48). This is the least drafting that I have ever witnessed at a WTC event. It probably has something to do with where I was in the race, but I don't think I saw any blatant drafting the whole day.

A very fair and fun race. Hard but not too hard. And you can't beat the fact that I raced an IM yesterday and I will be sleeping in my own bed in Michigan tonight without having to catch a flight. A return trip to Muskoka is not out of the question.

For those who may look at this thread in the future, my wife and I stayed at Hidden Valley which is one kilometer from the race venue. We stayed for four nights and charged about half of our meals to the room and spent right around $1,000 US, which is considerably less than folks were paying at Deerhurst. Highly recommend this option (or maybe I should keep this to myself). An easy walk to the start on race morning.

Edit. My wife tells me, $1,132.
