  • Comments: Not much at the campground in terms of facilities. Nowhere to change clothes after the race which meant I wore race clothes until we got to like Carroll Iowa or some such place. Pretty rustic out there. But the race course is good. There was a lot of confusion on the swim route, particularly the last bouy. I know some people missed it. Not sure what happened there. It wasn't a straight route which required a lot of navigation. High enthusiasm and friendly folks. I probably won't go back just because it's such a crappy drive from Sioux Falls.

  • Comments: Seemed to take a long time for Olympic awards/raffle. They started announcing they would do the awards in 10-15 minutes, but 1/2 hour later they still weren't started. My beanie was NOT in my race bag!

  • Comments: I had fun, it was a nice event with good participants and volunteers. I can't help worrying that one of these years someone is going to get seriously injured on "Twister Hill" and that might be the end of this tri.

  • Comments: The water temperature during that time of year is something to get used to--I might consider it again in the future.
