  • Comments: Discovered that the run course was about 3/4 of a mile long. Didn't need that at the end of all this. Learned a lot about how to do this race for next year. Overall, I'm ok with the performance. things can only get better from here.

  • Comments: We really had a nice time hanging out around East Tawas and overall enjoyed the day and other things going on. Were all ready signed up for next year and this will be my A+ race with an eye on a PR. I just wish Kenny of 3D was more understanding about my questioning the run course mileage. He basically told me my Garmin was off by .76 miles, so after confirming the long run course Sunday morning with two Garmins and my truck, I guess I have to take my truck in to the dealer and get the odo calibrated and see what I can do about my bad Garmins ;-)

  • Comments: Great race. I will most likely be back next year. The course was good. The swim was great the water is so clean. Much different than other places I have raced this year. (ie Ohio River) Bike course is outstanding. The run course was nice but I hope it was not over the 13.1 miles. Overall the race is well oganized and one of the best locations for a race for both the racer and the spectators. Thank you downtown East Tawas business for letting us invade your city. You all did a great job.
