Subject: RE: Best "Clydesdale Friendly" Half Ironman Triathlons? Spirit of Racine is now an official Ironman 70.3 race. It is very fast and flat. Biggest hill on the bike course is coming out of transition. I did it last year and loved it. I signed up again this year, but I don't think there is a clyde division anymore. I could be wrong, but I think I had to sign up age group. The swim can be very cold. Lake Michigan isn't very warm, but it is short. It will be interesting to see if they lengthen it now that it's an Ironman race. Depending on the current/wind the water temp can be 58-65 in a matter of one day. In the past they did the sprint race on Saturday and the half on Sunday. Last year the water temp on Saturday was like 56-58 and Sunday around 65. |
