Pro  15655    |  Subject: Find a race....help pleaseI'm trying to work out a race schedule for next year and need a race or 2 for June. I'm looking for a good Olympic distance race at a venue that also has a Sprint distance race. I'd prefer somewhere in the midwest to avoid the need for flying. Anything within 400 miles or so of Missouri works for me. If the Oly has a pro/elite field that would be even better. Thanks. ETA - actually only looking for something in the first 2 weekends in June. Edited by Left Brain 2013-10-23 9:46 AM |

Expert 2355 Madison, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Find a race....help please Ill second Trinona and add in Elkhart Lake which is the day before. I challenge you to do the double and race both, I did it this year and had a blast, raced better the second day. There is also Pleasant Prairie later in June just north of Chicago. |

Yes, these are all good and meet everything. Does it have to be USAT? Some around Madison in that time that are not, like Triterium. Rev3 Dells does not have a sprint, but pro race is with the Oly. Would also try contacting someone like Thomas Gerlach as he seems really good at finding races like you're looking for. |

I'm not even going to look and be tempted. LOL These races are for my kids and I'm already flying them twice. Trinona looks cool....Tinman is a funky distance so my kid will nix that one....anybody have any experience with Grand Rapids triathlon? It's advertised as the USAT long course national championship race for 2014 in addition to having a sprint and oly. Edited by Left Brain 2013-10-23 10:43 AM |

You probably wouldn't want to see the pics of people jumping off the ferry for the swim start! |

Really nice swim. Bike is flat and fast but can get windy. Run is rollers with 1/2 shade and 1/2 open. It got hot on the run. I live in Cleveland so similar climate. June can be 50/50....hot or freezing. I would do the race again. |
