Yes, agree 100% with this. The Penticton race was awesome, and I hope it's just as successful with Challenge as with WTC. But I agree that getting Whistler to host this is a coup as it will be a fantastic venue - maybe even better than Tremblant!

It will sell out quickly. People all around the world know about Whistler. It is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Canada...especially popular with Australians and Germans ( do they do triathlons?;)) Secondly it is on the doorstep of Vancouver and Victoria....really great places to visit that time of year and again already on the international tourist map.
It is also an easy trip from Seattle and the rest of the US north west....i.e drivable.
I dont like the way that WTC handles Penticton and I hope that Challenge and Penticton have a long prosperous relationship ( I want to do that course a few more times)....but I think WTC pulled a bit of a Coup in getting Whistler.
