IRONMAN Muskoka
Muskoka is a cottage-country 70.3 and the bike is relentless. The 1,900 m swim is in Peninsula Lake at Huntsville, then 90 km of Ontario back roads that climb and descend continuously without ever offering a long climb or a long flat, and 21.1 km on wooded trails and quiet roads.
That profile is harder to pace than a course with a named hill. There is no section where you settle, and power files from this race tend to look ragged even for experienced riders. Gear for the short steep pitches rather than for a sustained effort.
Mid-July in Muskoka is warm, humid, and buggy, and the trail sections of the run are shaded but airless.
The practical warning is accommodation. This is Ontario's holiday region at the peak of its season, so anything near Huntsville is expensive and booked well in advance. Sort that before you sort your entry.
