World Championship Week! Arrived in Mt Tremblant, Canada

It's race week again!

And this time it's the last Tri of the season with Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.

After spending Labor Day weekend in Lake George, NY where Mariesa completed her second Olympic tri of the season, we drove up to Canada yesterday for IM 70.3 Worlds.
We stopped in Montreal for lunch and arrived in Mt Tremblant around 4. Though still quiet, you can tell the village is getting excited for the event. Ironman signs everywhere, the Ironman village is already up and the transition area is already set up. Awesome!

Mt Tremblant is beautiful! The village is very charming, with lots of restaurants, shops, and a gondola that takes you over the village and up at the top of the mountain behind it. You see hydro planes landing in Lake Tremblant, Canoe and kayak rentals, hiking and MTDing trails all around. All that adds up to the quintessential cliche I have of Canada. Everything is at walking distance. the locals are (so far) very nice and welcoming.
A nice surprise awaited us at our rental: a deer was patiently waiting for us to feed it with carrots.
