I'm out of town this week, but would be interested if you go again, preferably a weekday.  I looked at your logs, but couldn't tell....what kind of pace are we talking?  I also want to try the swim course which I think is somewhere around Reid Park.  I've been trying to figure out exactly where it takes place.  The web site stinks at giving that level of detail.  So if you can clue me, that would be great.

The swim starts at Reid park from the pier it is just straight out and straight back.
Lake Geneva is my favorite lake to swim/boat in so clean and clear.  
At Reid park there is a nice swimming area, place to change and beach. You have to pay to get on the beach.There is parking right at Reid park, can be a busy place.  
The run - has a couple of hills you hit one almost at the start of the run.  
The bike-  roads are ok, some hills but nothing terrible.

Does anyone have a cue sheet for this bike course?  The one on the website has no turn by turn directions.  Thanks!

argh!  can't Fridays - work.  I could do Saturdays or Sundays, though (except for this Sunday).  i DO want to get down there at least a couple times before September.

I could do an early Saturday morning ride say around...9 or 10? One problem is that I will be in Boston on the 1st and my cabin on the 8th. Do we wanna plan on a ride next Saturday then 25th? If so let me know asap and I will swap my availability accordingly.

i hate to sound like a negative nellie, but Saturday the 25th is out for me - i'm racing Tri-ing for Children's the next day, so i want fresh legs (preferably my own).

Also out is August 15th (Dairyland Dare).
