Un article sur le nouveau directeur de course d’Ironman Tremblant. Il y a beaucoup de choses qui sont dites dans le milieu. Voila une façon d’en savoir plus. C’est bien Dominique Piché, l’homme derrière le triathlon de Tremblant. C’est assez étonnant de voir Lava Magazine (qui appartient à WTC) écrire sur un directeur de course. Aussi, c’est l’équipe qui organise Muskoka 70.3 qui est bien derrière le décor.

Pour ceux qui feront la course, il semble que les conditions seront exceptionnelles!!! Routes fermées et neuves.

Moreover, $7.5 million is going towards investment and infrastructure for the race. “The Quebec government is going to repave and redo the roads for at least 75 percent of the course,” Piche said. “That’s going to give us wider roads and bike paths on each side so when the athletes come to train and acclimate they are going to have that bike path to secure them.”

Plans are to completely redo and widen Duplessis road. The main portion of work and new pavement is scheduled for Montee Ryan and Route 117. The bike course will also be completely closed to 95 percent of traffic and they are closing highway 117 northbound, which will give participants 40 km of complete highway access.

“We’ve got some good flat areas but just coming out of the transition zone you’ll be on Montee Ryan and start climbing a tad,” said Piché, narrating the course. He said he’s looking forward to seeing what people will call the climb on highway 117 north, and that they’ll name the hill after what sticks for athletes.

The fear of blistered and bruised feet often keeps even the most hardened pros from running out of transition without socks in their shoes. Here are some tricks of the trade if you want to try going sockless on the run. Read advice on going sockless.

Seriously, it’s easy to do up to 70.3. You can easily gain 30s, it’s free speed as they say!
