While it’s great to take images for my articles, sometimes the weather has to cooperate. Conditions were less than ideal for “Torontohenge Imperfect in 2012“, as published by a now-defunct online science magazine.

I wanted to follow-up a previous article, “TorontoHenge: When City Grids Align with the Sun”, which had great images of sunset but along a less exciting street. It’s in the same defunct site.
In April, however, the pre-dawn clouds did not clear away. Later pictures do show a red glow, but not the spectacular scarlet orb of the Sun along King Street.

The Becel Ride for Heart is a glorious Toronto charitable fund raising tradition, which will repeat on June 3, 2012.
(Added April 6, 2013): The 2013Becel Heart and Stroke Ride will take place June 2, 2013.
(Added April 6, 2013): One of the lesser known online shopping sites for bicycles and cycling accessories is Light in the Box. I like the look of their 11 or 16 function multi-tools: like a Swiss Army knife for bike repair. Also check for their daily deals, linked from their home page.

The Fitness Angle for Toronto Ride for Heart
“Ride for Heart” is a fitness event, by virtue of incorporating a bicycle ride up and down the Don Valley Parkway. As the above image shows, the DVP is a lovely stretch of road, especially when there are no pesky automobiles in the way.
People with limited cycling ability can opt for the 25Km distance. Those with more endurance can bicycle for 50 or 75 kilometres.
The route includes rest stops; the organizers offer some refreshments, although you may want to bring your own water as well.
A Word to Car Drivers about the “Ride for Heart” Event and the Don Valley Parkway Closure
The Don Valley Parkway, and at least part of the Gardiner Expressway, will be closed to cars, trucks and motorcycles to allow cyclists to safely participate in the “Ride for Heart“.

(Updated May 28). Beyond this one charity cycling event, May 28 kicks off Toronto Bike Month, as I report in a future article.

Last night I found new web pages for triathletes to sign up for the 2012 Olympic Distance Toronto Triathlon for July. We should expect “serious and avid” triathletes, some of whom might use this competition to qualify as Canada’s representatives for the 2013 season (if I understand the situation correctly).
This post also updates the shorter distance Triathlon events to be held in August.
The July 2012 Toronto Triathlon Festival
"North West Triathlon" by (The contributor of this photo is David Hawgood)
Never one to keep a good thing to myself, let me share the information you triathletes need.
The July 2012 Toronto Triathlon Festival has Four Events
The World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) is the sponsor for the Toronto Triathlon Festival, scheduled for the weekend of July 22, 2012.
The highlight and showcase event for the Toronto Triathlon Festival is the Olympic distance for individual competitors. Since the WTC owns the “Ironman” brand name, they call the Olympic distance event the “Ironman 5150”. The Olympic distance is a 1.5Km swim, 40Km bicycle ride and 10Km run for a total of 51.50Km. The registration page calls this the “Olympic Tri Individual“. (The famous “Ironman Triathlon” distance covers a 3.8Km swim, 180Km bike plus 42.2Km run, so numerically the Ironman would be “22600” since it covers 226.00Km).
(The above paragraph was updated 2012-07-15, from saying that the “5150” is half the distance of the famous “Ironman Triathlon”).
Another event is the “Olympic Tri Relay“. The total distance is the same, but is shared by a swimmer, bicyclist and runner.
The other distance is the “Sprint“, consisting of a 750m swim, 20Km cycle stage and 5Km run. Thus, it covers half of the “Olympic” distance. Again, there are two choices: “Sprint Tri Individual” and “Sprint Tri Relay“.

The Triple Triathlon in August, Hosted by MultiSport Canada
Separately, MultiSport Canada is organizing three competitions for August 25 and 26, 2012. Their short triathlon covers a 750m swim, 30Km cycle and 4.5Km run. Their shortest triathlon has a 400m aquatic stage, 10Km on bicycle, and 2.5Km afoot. Their duathlon runs 4.5Km at the start and end, with a 30Km bicycle stage sandwiched between. (It has no swim).
Previous 2012 Toronto Triathlon Articles in DeHaan Services
My first blog about these events was “Prepare for the 2012 Toronto Triathlon Event“. It’s one of my most popular articles (thanks!) since being published in the autumn of 2011. I just updated it with the newly found links.

I expect you will want to bring your triathlon wetsuit and follow your favourite triathlon training program to be fully ready for the Toronto Triathlon event of your choice. Good luck and good racing!
