As many of you from my neck-of-the woods are aware, John Salt, founder of the Multisport Canada Triathlon Series is retiring and handing over the reins at the end of this triathlon season. Many of us have enjoyed and benefited from participation in his outstanding Ontario races. We will miss his presence at the finish line, where he has welcomed finishers with a smile and handshake year after year.
As a tribute to John, post your memories or favourite races with MSC.
I have done approximately 29 races with MSC since 2003 so there is lots to choose from. Favourite swim was Bala for its beautiful Ontario cottage country lake. Favourite bike course is Barrelman which is fast, flat and beautiful, passing by the Welland Canal, Lake Erie north shore, farm country and the upper Niagara Rapids. Most memorable run was Wasaga Beach 2012 which took place with a cold, driving rain and gale coming off Georgian Bay. I don't know how the volunteers and race crew could stand it. I do remember getting in the car and putting on the heated seats (in September!).
I wish John and Anna all the best with lots of lazy summer weekends in the future. Thanks for it all.
