I have been hearing a lot of people talking about Lake Minnetonka being a great race you need to sign up early for. Just thought I would let everyone know registration for next year is OPEN.

I just signed up.  I wavered because I am lacking interest in swimming to the point that I wondered if I would keep up with triathlon at all.  But, I wasn't sure so I signed up so I didn't miss my chance.

Checking with wifey to see if she wants this one, or if I'm taking it. Looks like a really fast course!

Or, find a babysitter and make it a family battle!

I wasn't sure if doing a triathlon (individual instead of team) with my wife was a good idea, but it was a blast. Getting a high five from her as we passed on the out and back run was a real pick me up at a time I needed it.

Where do you register?  When I got to http://63.255.227.21/registration.htm,it says registration for 2012 is closed.  Is there a different site for 2013 registration?

Believe me, I was thinking about that as I signed up... 

And I did sign up Athena and hope to be as thin as possible to be in the category to set a course record - ha ha.  You know, they never mention stuff like that for Athenas.  I wouldn't mind another present and trophy

Glad you're in, Jer!

With all positive reviews, how can I not do this race?  I just registered as well.  Although at nearly $80, it's not cheap!

I'm signed up! This will only be my 2nd tri... but I needed something potentially "easier" than the Waconia Tri I did last year. Bonus points for it being 3 miles from my house!

It's definitely easier than that race!  That might have something to do with why it's so popular   In particular, the run is great.  See you there!

Welcome aboard everyone!  I did this race for the first time last year, and it really is an easy flowing course.  I'm a big BIG Clyde.  The swim is not too bad, the bike has a couple hills but not too bad, and the run is as abut as flat as a run can get.  This has been my favorite race so far..!

Disliking the run portion the most I am in, based on the positive, flat description. Hope they don't change the course! (Jer if they change it I'll have to find you.... )

The run is flat and fast. There are a few hills in the middle of the bike but pretty tame. The swim can be choppy depending on the day -- this is a big lake after all.

Overall it is a very nice race and capped at a reasonable number so as to not be insanely crowded.

My goal is to get at least a mile into the run before EJShowers passes me...   (FYI I had like a 30 minute head start last year)...!

Also... Foggy alerted me that I was running out of T2 with my helmet on..

I wish I could have been a spectator watching myself race.  It was a hoot!

I'm in!  I was waiting to see if a friend was going to join me but he just declined. I got $75 for Christmas from my in-laws, so I registered   Putting paying for it up front will keep me motivated throughout the winter too, haha.

I'm in too!  Hoping the weather is better than last year and lake doesn't have too much chop.
