Has anybody done this one before or is anybody planning on racing this next weekend? Just signed up yesterday and am ready for the first race of the season!

I havent heard of it but just looked it up and it looks like fun - this is in Lewiston, right?  I'm always looking for more races in Idaho.  I'll put it on my calendar for next year.  Good luck!

Oh, I just realized that you posted this in Washington so its probably different from the tri that I just checked out.

Did this "tri" for the first time last year.  It's pretty well organized, if I remember correctly it's a fund raiser put on by the local high school cross country running team.  It will be chip timed this year as well, which is a nice addition.  I will be there this weekend, it's a good, early start to the season.

elizabethk, it's likely the same one if it's in Lewiston, ID.  That's only about 100 miles from me in Spokane, WA.

The swim is in Clarkston, Washington and the bike and run is in Lewiston, Idaho. They are basically the same city just on different sides of the border.

See you there smithe68, good luck!

Right, I am doing my swim here in Spokane and driving down in the morning.  Big weekend for me as I am also doing the Spokane River Run 25k trail race Sunday.

 

Thanks, good luck to you as well!

Looks like you did really well with a 4th place finish overall, good job.  I did ok, had a foot cramp during the swim which slowed me to a crawl, still managed an ok 19th overall, can't  complain.  It did have an affect on the following days 25k trail race, but I survived.

Thanks, it felt really good to get out and race again finally! Foot cramps suck!!! Sorry man, that can definitely hurt the swim time but 19th is solid. I will have to consider that trail race for the future possibly, I have heard its a good one.

First time I have ever had one, it was not pleasant.  The trail race is awesome, the scenery is amazing and the course is, at times, very challenging.  I will definitely do it again next year although I am going to step up to the 50k.
