I am not sure when I last did it - '90, '91. Maybe 92. Can't seem to remember. I do recall that being a great three week stretch with the Winterlude Tri, the Canadian Ski Marathon and then the Gatineau 55 three weeks in a row. I think I did that one year and said never again. The Tri season would seem like a laugh after doing that!
When I last did the Winterlude Tri I seem to recall skating from almost the head of the canal to Dawes Lake( 10K?), then skiing about 10 - 15 K near Dawes lake, then running about 5 miles all the way back up to the Armoury to finish. I recall getting hammered on the speed-skate coming in near the back, then skiing over-top of several hundred people on the ski and then passing a ton more on the run. I think I finished 5th. Crazy race!
Not sure if the bad back could handle any of that type of torture right now.
