Announced on his socials this morning.
I assume he’s doing hometown Ottawa Ironman. He was a half decent runner (ha!) so will be interesting.
Hope he does some bike races with some climbing though…

That’s awesome. He got into biking on account of running track for the Ottawa Lions track club where many of the local top end triathletes where training. When he got injured the tri guys took him cycling in Gatineau Park and the rest is history, so this would be full circle
His race calendar says Placid.
And Kona.

Ah, I missed his schedule viewing on my phone.
Needs the extra time to recover for Leadville I guess. Short drive from Ottawa to Placid.
Last time I visited Ottawa, I ran into some triathletes in the airport who flew there to get to Placid.
Drive to Placid is 2:30 to 3;15 depending on where you leave from Ottawa and line up at the border. From my house it is 250 km. A few of the guys used to ride over to LP for training camps (I never did).
Woods should crush dreams in his age group and the performance pool being a protour riders and sub 4 miler
Is a sub 4 miler just decent nowadays? I mean we do have 16 year old kids running 3:48 so……
That’s not the point. He is racing triathlon with protour cycling experience and sub 4 min mile running pedigree. It’s kind of irrelevant where he fits into the pecking order of pure runners.
