Canadian Zofingen: 10K run – 90K bike – 10K run 25 Sep or 02 Oct
Hi folks,
Thanks to Tetsoni and the American Zofingen (www.americanzofingen.triathletesonline.com) , it looks like I will have to extend my season just a few days/weeks longer and host a "training endurance challenge", to get you guys and gals ready for his event.
Canadian Zofingen will be held either Sep 25th or the weekend of Oct 1/2 in beautiful Gatineau Park just 8K north of Ottawa, the capital of Canada.

The course will feature over 8000 ft of climbing over the 10K run - 90K bike - 10K run route and participants will experience the spleador of the Autumn Colors typical of the Canadian Shield.
I want to solicit your feedback with respect to the date. Options are the Sep 25th or the weekend of Oct 01/02.
Here are the rest of the preliminay event details:
Start Time 7 am
Start Location P8 Gatineau Park
Run 1 10K Course: Run up parkway to Penguin to 1 down to Fortune Valley, up Slalom Ski hill, down the fireroad into the valley, exit valley by road to p10, turn right at P10 and run back to P8 on Parkway, approximately 1000 ft of vertical. We will run the first run together, waiting for stragglers at the top of each hill
Bike Course 90K: 4 loops heading counter clockwise, draft legal. On the last loop, 3 K out and back to bottom of Pinks Lake to round it off to 90K. Approximate total climbing is 6400 ft. Depending on the numbers, we will try and organize a fast, medium, and tourist groups
Run 2 Course 10K : Same as Run 1, but go at your own pace.
Nutrition: Bring your own. This is a self supported event
Timing: Use your watch
Please let me know if you can make it and which date is preferable. This would be an excellent training day for anyone planning on racing Kona, Ironman Florida, Great Floridian or American Zofingen, or just close off your season with a great training challenge
