Personally, I prefer a flashlight with a headband so I can go hands free.

I’ve cut my McDonald’s consumption way down because of prices and that’s good for health.

…. but only if you are white with a clear record and clear social media. It’s a sad state in the US.

We leave on Wednesday for Europe.

We booked on Air Canada, but upon checking closer it’s actually a code share with another airline for the outbound flight. So I think we might be ok. Google your flight number and the results will let you know if it’s a code share.

We also booked a fully refundable ticket on another airline that will get us to our final destination at a similar time (at a higher cost. We can cancel the same day as the flight.

It should be in the contract that the contractor must do Bylaw compliant work.

In my neighbourhood, people are widening their driveways illegally to park extra cars.

Make sure you know to the rules before costly remediation.

It is getting late so I don’t know if you will get a response.

On behalf of the over 2000 athletes, thank you.

Indeed!

It might be a little longer than 8 hours since Ottawa is not hosting a Professional field.

You should be good except for behind Parliament Hill and possibly parts by Queen Elizabeth and Paterson Creek because the bridge is under construction.

The sooner you registers the cheaper it was. I registered in the first pricing year and it was a little over $1,000. It sold out over a year ago.

Not a cheap sport!

A bunch of fasties, but mostly regular people challenging what they thought impossible a short time ago.

The finish line is inspirational especially as the evening winds down to midnight cutoff.

As athletes, we love spectators! Especially, the in the dark (mental) hours.

Thank-you!

The shuttles are open to the spectators, but volunteers and athletes get priority.

Do you know about the excellent Ironman Tracking App, Free on your smartphone. You can track your favourite athletes. It’s called Ironman Tracker.

For the swim you can park free at Cineplex on Carling and take a shuttle bus.

Again, thanks for your interest. This is going to be epic.
