Member 52 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: 2009 Spirit of Racine Early Bird Has anyone done the Door County half? I think it's the same weekend as Racine. I'm debating between the two. Although, Racine sounds like a pretty quality race, and much less of a drive from Madison! |

I hear sign up is in January and will fill up quickly. Monty is doing this one I believe. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: 2009 Spirit of Racine Early Bird A question for those that have done this event before, I am trying to decide between Racine and Door County. Any thoughts on which is better, especially for someone who wants to jump up to the 1/2IM distance? |

Any thoughts on which is better, especially for someone who wants to jump up to the 1/2IM distance? I haven't done the Door County although I would think it would be fun. I strongly recommend Racine as it's well run, closer for you in Madison and the bike course is very flat. Run course has a couple hills and then is very flat. Only issue is swimming in Lake Mich can be a challenge but you'd essentially be in Lake Michigan up in Door County anyway. Do Racine and then hit Door the next year before IM 2010. Done! |

Elite 2793 Denver | Subject: RE: 2009 Spirit of Racine Early Bird Hmmm, now I am unsure. I was planning on doing Door County, but it seems like the general consensus is that SOR is a better race. Seems like I've got some serious pondering to do.... |
