Heart of the Lakes

I so want to do this race, but I'm racing the weekend before so I'm not sure I should. I want to do the long course because it's a "short" long course. Anyone else doing this one?

I'm in for the short course!  Registered yesterday.

This is the event that inspired me to do Triathlons. I was part of a relay last year, and I was so impressed with the triathletes. I looked at the training as a way to get in better shape and quit hurting myself with just running.

So, I will be there. By that time, it will be my 2nd Tri. I am going to do the long course. I'm hoping it isn't windy and 90+ temp like last year... Oh well, if it is, I'll be better prepared.

i did the long course last year and had a great time, despite the hot weather. the community really comes out for this race. i'd do it this year but i already have 3 races in july

Ok, so now only 253... gulp.

I heard this filled early but I had no idea!  Glad I had March 1 in my calendar!

I have never done this race, but as a previous poster mentioned, there is great fan support at this race. Last year it was full before I figured out I loved the sport, and this year I have a bachelorette party the night before. The possibility of competing with a hangover just didn't sound like a good option to me. I even thought about trying to get the bride to change the party date but I resisted...figured she probably wouldn't appreciate it!

Good luck to everyone that is registered!
