This year's Ironman Canada will be the last in Penticton

Not entirely surprising; I thought the writing was on the wall when they unveiled another Ironman Canada in Ottawa, but they just made it official today. This is a huge bummer for me personally; I don't think there are any other full-distance races that are within a reasonable driving distance, and I don't want the hassle of flying with my bike and gear. This puts a lot more pressure on me to finish this year's race---I might not have another shot at a full Ironman anytime soon. It's do or die.
