Organization PLUS +

OMG! Hats off to the Organizers & Volunteers of 70.3 Muskoka. By far, and i mean by far the most organized, thought out, and executed with precision timing. I have done many halfs and one full ironman and i can proudly say Muskoka has them all beat. I have heard via friends that Lake Placid is run well. Nevertheless, as a weekend athlete and business man during he week i was impressed. I always look at these events with two sets of eyes, as an athletes and as a spectator (usually through my wife's eyes). Muskoka thought of everything. They had a plan & stuck to it flawlessly. I would like to especially thank the volunteers in the shuttle bus operation. Ladies & Guys on a scale of 10 you get a 10. For reasons i will not get into i arrived later than i should have. The Pros race started at 8am, my waive was second last, going off at 8:33am. I have now just parked my truck at the very last spot at the end of the Huntsville airport runway at 7:45am. You with me here? The shuttle buses are running smoothly and now carrying spectators to the transition area. One of the parking lot attentants sees me, realizes i'm an athlete tells me to get aboard school bus "A" that has about 12 spectators on it(so it's about 80% empty) and instructs the driver as soon as this athlete gets in "TAKE off". I made it to the race. I'll be back to Muskoka next year, Great Job guys.
