Subject: RE: cedar point iron distance tri in northern ohioHey everyone, I grew up in Sandusky and do a lot of boating on the lake. I'm a beginner triathlete so I won't be participating in the race, but thought I'd give my insight and opinions. I looked on the web site and it looks like there is are 2 courses depending on weather. The original course is in lake erie which can be very unpredictable. This area is sheltered a bit by a breakwall so that could be a pro or con. When we boat, once we get around the breakwall and into the course area, it is usually calmer, but it all depends on the weather. The breakwall can be a hinderance because the waves can hit against the breakwall and it makes it worse. It looks like the plan B course in Sandusky Bay will be a nice alternative if the weather is bad. Sandusky Bay is generally calmer. Also, September weather in Sandusky is usually nice as it is not scorching hot, but the water temp is nice. I hope that helps! also, I would recommend making travel arrangements early because this is still a very busy time for cedar point. my family owns a few hotels in the area so check it out! www.lakeeriemotels.com |
