Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The 3 D festival of races is in 2 weeks, and I was wondering who is coming up this year for the race. The road conditions are very good, all construction to widen Monument is scheduled until after the race. Current water temp in the bay is 71 F. As long as the weather holds out it should be a good race. |

I am doing the HIM my 18 year old daughter is moving up from the sprint to the Oly this year. Edited by JBacarella 2014-08-26 8:01 AM |

New user ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I ran (if you can describe it that way) to the point on Friday morning but didn't wear a 3D singlet, just an old T-shirt and running shorts. I spend every weekend in Tawas at the marina in town and usually bike or swim on the weekends. It's a great spot to bike, within a couple of miles of town, you can have miles of smooth roads with very little traffic. I live in Grand Blanc and between the bumpy roads and traffic, it's tough to get a good long ride. Congratulations to your daughter on moving up to the Oly, I'd like to run that distance next year. I'll also be at the finish line cheering on the HIM, that's a terrific accomplishment. LJ |

She worked at the Dock this Summer, Friday was her last day, she plans on returning next Summer. Her name is Maria. |

New user ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() J.B. I know in the past, you have been involved with the city and 3D as a liaison, or some other capacity. If the subject comes up, this event was terrific. Everything from the fan support, to the finish on Newman Street, to the event afterwards was really enjoyable. My thanks and appreciation to everyone involved. LJ |

The volunteers out on the course were also awesome. One suggestion for the 3D crew - send someone to Walmart for Ice for the pop filled swimming pool. I would have loved one of the mountain dews at the finish line, but my stomach wasn't going to be able to handle another warm, syrupy sweet concoction. I'm sure it was just a snafu. Anne Marie was very helpful with the t-shirt size exchange. very happy with this race! |

The Sheriff's department would have given it to them for free. Another lesson for next year. I'm glad you liked the race. I hope it lived up to my hype. |
