WELCOME ATHLETES TO CALGARY!
 We are excited to be hosting you for the fourth edition of Ironman 70.3 Calgary, western Canada's one and only Ironman 70.3 triathlon. We hope you are arriving in good form, injury free and ready to race. We have 700 athletes representing 17 countries, eight Canadian province and one territory and many friends from across the USA (including representatives from 22 states).
We have planned a very full week for you, and we are busy putting the final coats of paint on the race but wanted to take a moment to wish you a good week and look forward to seeing you all.
Your Ironman 70.3 Calgary Organization Team

 The forecast for Sunday is nearly perfect! Sunny with some cloudy periods, a high of 26C and a low of 12C with a light to moderate southwesterly wind of 5 to 10 km/hr.
Although the last month has not been especially warm, water temperature in Ghost Lake is climbing. Things are looking good for a great race day.
