Event comments:

This tri is slightly longer than some of the other Sprints I have done which is a really nice change. The lake water was clear and clean, as was the beach area. The biking was varied with some hilly parts and the roads were very nice. The run was part trail, part road which kept things fresh. I wish the swim had also been longer, maybe 800 meters? They really should think about capitalizing on this great location and do an Olympic distance as well as the Sprint. I will definitely do this tri again next year and get as many friend to come with me as I can!

Course: Really nice course. Starts out on trail path then into woods for short distance, then out on road and back into woods before returning to transition area. The best run course I have tried. The change from trail to woods to road kept me entertained, the run passed by quicker and was a lot of fun!
