I remember there is a triathlon last year around May at Windsor beside the Detroit river. Anyone has more information about it?  Thanks

The only one in the area in May is Belle River...on a clear day you can see the Renaissance Center from the Marina

I was thinking of it. Nice closed course. Beware of the Belle Isle winds though!
You?

I had some unexpected changes in my life so I am playing it kinda by ear for tris for the year. I am running the martian full marathon in novi on April 5th and possibly the Belle Isle Tri in June. I am going to do the full detroit and if I get enough saddle time in I am doing Muskoka 70.3. Other than that I am not doing much. Maybe the J&J self supported 70.3 as well.

So my first event is going to be the 5km in Dearborn with my son, it is the day before the MM. Then I plan to run the 1/2 Marathon April 19 in Leamington
The Triathlon Season will debut again with the Belle River Tri May 30th, either Belle Isle or Leamington Tri June 14/15th, then Windsor Tri Aug 8th, the Bull Dog August 23rd finally Muskoka Sept 13th!
Then the Detroit Marthon if I don't die in Muskoka!

What is this J&J 70.3 you speak of?

I think I know of the unexpected things going on in your life, around 1199 other people also eh?
Hope everything works out for you.

This didn't sound right, so I checked the website for the Leamington Triathon. It is on June 20/21 this year, so it conflicts with Guelph and Belle Isle conflicts with the Muskoka Chase. But you can do Belle Isle and Leamington

I feel bad about not supporting local triathlons, but I just don't want to swim in the Detroit River. At least Belle Isle and Belle River are early in the year, but Sand Point Beach in August is just nasty.

Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't looking at a real calendar and just figured The motor city tri was on a Saturday.

True, I should do the du. Then again the water for the tri swim is usually only a couple of feet deep most years so it's also really a du

All 3 triathlons are being held this year: Belle River at the end of May, Belle Isle in June, and Windsor in August. There also some races out in the county that, in my opinion, have more pleasant swims, like Leamington and Rondeau.

Thanks for the info.  However I can't find any info online for the Belle River tri.  Any thought?

I start off from Windsor and I want to support their event.  Even though I relocated

Hi all. Dave and I are new to this site, but have met many on Sat. Sun. rides. I think the Belle River race is actually on the 31st, the Sunday. Several weeks ago I emailed to find out, and they did say they had the wrong date. We will try and find out for sure.
