Subject: RE: Interesting tris over the summer... popsracer - 2011-02-01 12:36 PM The Mary Meyer event looks interesting and is not too far to travel so if I'm not too beat up after my HIM I may attempt. Was curious, they say wetsuits are allowed as the water will be in the mid-60's but for 1/4 mile do people bother especially for the second swim? I could not imagine struggling to put a wet wetsuit on mid race. Is the bike course flat? Yeah, interesting point about the wetsuit; I don't think I would bother with it, but I know they run a "once-through" version of the race (a real super-sprint ), and I'm guessing some people who are doing it as their first tri, or are not too confident in their swimming, or some other valid reason would like to wear a wetsuit. Would be interested in hearing about the bike course layout as well, if anybody has any experience. Its closer than ChelanMan, a lot cheaper than TriRock, and has a unique format... color me intrigued! |
