Lookout Mountain Tri

Wow, that is very very tempting.  My family has held a Mount Vernon Country Club membership for 50+ years.  It sure would be fun to do a tri there! 

I saw this and it peaked my interest.  I was a little disappointed to see that the bike leg doesn't go all the way down and back up lookout.

Also, I'm not a big fan of pool swims, so I'll probably be passing on it. 

I saw this one as well and think it looks like fun. I am uncertain if I will be doing it or not. I really need to get as much OWS experience as possible before imaz and already have one tri I'm planning on doing that's a pool swim.  We'll see though

If it had an open water swim, I would definitely do it. But, I did a tri with a pool swim once and I swore that I would never do one again! I had a really bad experience with the swim portion in the pool and I just don't want to potentially put myself through that again.

Just signed up!  I rode two laps of the bike course today and it's a fun loop.  I skipped the short section inside the country club because it appears to be a private road, but the rest was a fun rolling course.  One of the guys I work with has a membership at the country club, and he said he'll take me for a run up there once my achilles heals up.  I'll post a report.

Did anyone else get out for a ride today.  It was beautiful.  My girlfriend and I  parked at Red Rocks and rode up Lookout via the frontage road, did two laps of the course, then back to Red Rocks.  Got in about 35 miles and had a nice lunch in Morrison.  Sure beats sitting on the rollers.

I grew up in Mount Vernon Country Club and the run course goes right past my childhood home.  I still run up there on occasion and since we're still members I think I'll have to sign up.
Darrin always does a great job.
