Subject: Midwest Area full Aquabike
I am in search of an Aquabike event within 8 hours of Des Moines, IA. Hoping to find one that has a 2.4 mile swim and a 112 mile bike ride so I can do it as a training workout sometime in late August or September. Anyone know of any good ones in the area? I know Okalohoma City has one but that's a bit further than we'd like to drive.

Thanks!

I was going to say REV3 Cedar Point but that's a longer drive than OKC... Google tells me that OKC is around an 8-hour drive from Des Moines, which seems to fit the criteria but maybe not with stops.

Have you tried looking here? http://www.trifind.com/gs_aquabike/AquabikeRaces.html?state=&year=2014&month=0&page=1 

There are a number of half-iron aqua-bikes but only a few fulls on there. 

There are also a number of long distance "swim-only" races out there that you could possibly do and then ride immediately after on your own... just thinking out loud.

Check out Mi Titanium in Grand Rapids, MI in late August. They offer a full aqua bike. MapQuest says about a 7+ hr. drive.

I went into the pool area (as this was a pool swim) and got body marked. That's when it hit me that I was there to race - this was not a clinic.

The triathletes really inspired me. I watched them in awe as childlike thoughts went through my head like, "I want to do that!" But then reality set in. “Who are you kidding?
