Subject: RE: Tawas Triathlon Festival Signed up for the sprint, but may switch to the Oly. Did it last year and split a beach house up in Oscoda with another family for very little $. They are dead up there after Labor Day and could not kiss our backside enough to get us in the place and make us happy. This year my wife will be away for a girls weekend, so I am bringing the kids solo. For this reason, I booked in to The Resort on the Bay side (it only like $8 more a night that looking at the road). I figure I can get up, rack my bike and then come back up and shower and eat a little & watch part of the HIM swim if needed. Fingers crossed that there isn't another Monsoon like last year. The post race party was a bit of a drag in the conference rooms. The beach should be a blast.
FWIW, I picked this one last year as my first tri based soley on the swim (as it scared the crap out of me). I am only 5'6", but would guess I could have touched bottom on most of the swim course. Didin't have to, but it sure helped me to rlax a bit. The run course kicks ### too wwith a great view of the bay. |
