There is no race this year but that’s not going to stop Michael Warr. On Wednesday morning the 77-year-old retired school teacher plans to do his own race, with only a ticking clock to try to beat. He’ll start at the Prince George Aquatic Centre for an 800-metre swim, then once he’s dried himself off he’ll get a friend to drive him to Otway Nordic Centre, the usual start of the Iceman, to complete the eight-kilometre cross-country ski segment. Once he’s done with that he’ll lace on his sneakers for a 10-km run to the outdoor ice oval at Exhibition Park. After five kilometres of skating he’ll get back into his running shoes for a five km run through a nearby residential area on the traditional Iceman path back to the Aquatic Centre, where his race will end.
