I had the privilege of interviewing two of my friends, Doug Lawson and Boris Petrov after they completed their first IRONMAN. This IRONMAN took place in Mont Tremblant, Quebec on Sunday, August 18th. 

A few details about the IRONMAN Mont Tremblant:

• Both Boris and Doug registered almost a year in advance because it sells out fast
• Cost of registration is $700 CAD
• Hotel price...Expect to pay more for that weekend (hundreds for a night)
• Distances for an Ironman (swim: 2.4 miles or 3.86 km, bike: 112 miles or 180.25 km, run: 26.2 miles or 42.2 km)
