Tuc-El-Nuit Lake, Oliver, BC

Just returned from a trip to British Columbia. I'm convinced the slogan on the BC pre-Olympic license plates "The Best Place on Earth" is correct. I gave my new car quite the workout, covering over 3000km in 6 days. I found some time to swim/bike/run in there as well. Here is the morning view from our campsite at Tuc-El-Nuit lake in Oliver:

Greg...recheck the date of the Prestige half. Don't show up a day late.

Yikes! Thanks Trev.

I'm still undecided on that race... due to other travel commitments over the summer. It's too bad it's scheduled the same weekend as Chinook 1/2... the "Alberta LC champs"... I think Charlie puts on the BEST races.

The overall course this year is AWESOME. I designed the run course and it is the best I've seen. Very hard and very scenic.

The bike is challenging but not silly, and the swim is familiar to anyone that has done Wasa.

Couldn't you always just return home after the race and do Chinook on Sunday? Seems logical.

I should clarify my comment!

It's too bad that people have chosen to race Chinook, instead of Prestige.
Prestige I believe to be a better race.

But the lure of "AB champs", and no travel for Calgary athletes, has Chinook with way more entries.

I'm actually captain of my K100 team on the same day.. I have to get out of that committment first! Then, traveling all the way to Wasa,race Prestige, back to Edmonton to watch Heather race GWN, then onto SK for two weeks.. the travelling is almost too much. Ah.. what the hell... I'll just sign up!
