Nice locally run race. I know the race director.
The swim is in the Rock River with the current, time trial type of start. Bike is rolling hills, no big ones. Big hill on the run.
Very small race but very well organized. The swag this year is a Headsweats visor, no shirt.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, I found the link you posted as well as the two Facebook pages they have for the race. Thought the visor looked pretty cool. I was hoping to find a few race reports but didn't see any listed. I've never done a river swim, but it's got to be better than Lake Ponchartrain. The questions I do have:
1. How cold is the water, I saw pictures of people wearing wetsuits so I'm assuming well below 78 degrees.
2. Compared to Racine 70.3, how is the bike, more hills, less hills or about the same?
3. How "big" of a hill are you talking about on the run? I'm from south Florida, my biggest hill is a 65 foot bridge.
Right now I'm about 90% sold on doing this race, just looking to get a better feel for it. Thanks again for any info.
