Why not? 

Informal. Casual. We'll pick a date, head to Island Lake. Swim 2x across or around the lake, self-policed. Or run for anyone that doesn't want to swim.  Bike through IL and Kensington. Run one lap around IL, or even make it a trail run. Self timed and self-reported, unless I can figure out something better. Massive BBQ afterwards. I'll provide awards.

Entry fee is $0. Anyone game?

TJ and I would be in for this. We could call it the Polar Bear Tri or we could do it in the summer.

Goodstuff.  

I'll put up a poll, within days, with a few dates that work with the varied race schedules of some of the tough girls in MI. Gotta work around them. We'll go with whatever date wins.

Although a preliminary date COULD BE Aug 1, same date as Steelhead. Awesome venue, but I don't know if anyone wants to run it this year...

So your saying this wont need be USAT sanctioned…lol

 

Sure, why not? I kind of like the idea of a chilly weather tri. It might put some hair on my chest. Breaking through the ice doesn't sound like my cupa' though.

Let's make it USAT sanctioned.*  We can use the $10 per to buy a lot of pops.**

 

*If 3D can claim sanctioning and get away with it, why can't we??

I'm doing the Steelhead HIM, so if you have it a different weekend you can count me in, otherwise I'll cheer you all from afar.

As of right now I'm 95% sure I'm doing Steelhead again as well.  Somehow I convinced my wife to do the run for a relay team and now she's going to expect me to do it as well.

I'll cheer from a far as well if need be.   But I am open to other dates.

Yeats and I are in! We've got a packed race schedule, though. How about an early season one, to get warmed up before the season begins?

I like the idea of having one early in the season.  I think we should do it the first part of May, then again in October to end the season.

Planning on Steelhead but open for other days. (I'll gladly contribute $10 for "dark pops"

There you go Rick, throw in another in July and you've got yourself a series. I'm in for at least one of the three

The only thing I *CAN* tell you is that it won't be formally organized, timed, sanctioned, or insured.  In fact, it's an individual training day where people self-time on a course we all pick together. See where I'm going with this?!

As soon as I get my schedule from the Ex, I'll know what weekends work. Then I'll post the poll. I kinda like the idea of may to warm up for the season, but the water can be notoriously fickle...

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted here, but I wanted to throw in my support for this idea! I love the pre- and post-season idea -- sort of a marker of any (hopefully lots?) progress made over the summer!
