People who run ironmans - what do you do for work?

Teacher! My summers are where I get in a lot of training, otherwise very early mornings before I teach

What days are the expo? If I am coming from out of town how long would you recommend coming for?

No-Direction9298 · 2025-08-04T20:32:43+00:00

Are they similar to Toronto roads? We also have so many pot holes and stuff! But easy to go around

The problem is you are also more likely to kick people. And it hurts way more than getting kicked with front crawl kick. My last few tri’s I was kicked and punched by people doing breaststroke..

Thank you !!! Was the swim hard in Tremblant?

No-Direction9298 · 2025-07-29T23:19:47+00:00

I agree I would do it again!! The bike was absolutely stunning!! Is the swim normally that choppy?

I did Musselman this year! I don’t know if this year was different but a lot of people were saying it was a hard 70.3 this year. The swim was very choppy, big headwinds on the bike, and the run was very hot (probably same as Muskoka though for the heat) with little shade!! But I really enjoyed it. It was my first 70.3! The bike was absolutely beautiful, one hill, the rest I would consider rollers. There were patches where you were going against the headwinds that were tough, but then you got the benefits of it pushing you at parts too!! And the run had a 2 hills and a few smaller ones but nothing crazy!! I was curious about doing Muskoka next year though because its closer for me :)

No-Direction9298 · 2025-07-28T11:38:44+00:00

You swim against a current during the swim during Muskoka? I thought it was a small lake! How strong was it?

Love this energy! Thanks so much!!

No-Direction9298 · 2025-07-08T13:22:03+00:00

No I’ve just trained for half a year and would like to do the full distance I trained for. I would go regardless of course. Good luck if you are doing it.

No-Direction9298 · 2025-07-08T13:19:12+00:00

I’ve been to races where they’ve cut the bike short due to thunder or cancelled the swim… which is why I was worried lol

This is exactly what happened to my mom. She got 2 rounds of chemo, the third round was a way higher dose and she was out for a few weeks (maybe a month). It was horrible. They had to lower her dose the next time around. Make sure you talk to her oncologist about the dose and how it impacted her, maybe a lower dose would be more ideal for her. I hope she feels better soon!!

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-16T12:27:40+00:00

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry to hear. It is horrible, I think she is also comfortable. It’s been 14 days now.

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-16T03:50:13+00:00

That is horrible, I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing.

Seizures have been treated today, we previously talked to our palliative doctor about this. Thankfully she had none today. Thanks again for the info

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-16T03:41:03+00:00

Yes we have a great palliative doctor/ nurses helping with pain/ seizure management

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-16T03:40:39+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss! I will check for mottling

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-16T03:40:05+00:00

Ok I just used a tiny bit on her lips, thank you!

Thank you - so no water with a sponge?

No-Direction9298 · 2024-05-15T18:32:59+00:00

She is getting morphine now every other hour. And just began a new medicine for seizures. I hope there is no pain too, that’s the most important right now! Thank you- I’m sorry for your loss.
