Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia That is really funny that they say the 3200 acre lake is a "perfect spot for a calm water swim" the race organizers have obviously never swam there before, if the wind is from the NW, it is ANYTHING but calm Either way, this definately just made my list of races to do next year, just need to decide on the distance |

Champion 10018 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia Wow, it's pretty exciting to have a full iron option in the area! Not that I want to do it, but I like that in theory I like biking in that area, although i am not sure I'd like the run unless it's all on the rail trail. |

Veteran 576 Maple Grove | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia Bummer!!! Guess I picked the wrong year to sign up for IM Wisconsin! LTF is moving the Maple Grove Tri up to that same weekend (Saturday), so the west metro is going to be busy with bikes. I've heard a lot of people say that if you're going to sign up for an Ironman, you should sign up for two within a relatively close time both for the experience and that you can carry the fitness into the second event without a huge build again. Would three weeks (Aug 16 to Sept 7) be enough time to recover to do another ironman? Maybe I'll post this on Tri Talk as well. |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia seems a bit close to me, but I guess it will depend on how well you are trained and how you normally recover, and how hard you push the inital IM. I would ping Birkierunner with this question. I know he has done a few IM's close together, and he would be able to give you some good insight |

The website still lists it as August 23rd.... |

I think it is too close for back to back IMs. I am considering the Oly as it will give me a last practice of T1, T2, etc. before IMWI. I wouldn't even do the half that close. I guess you could try it; but IMWI is not an easy race to begin with. Good luck. |

I believe they don't want to conflict with the Chicago LTF tri which has traditionally been held that same last weekend of August. You're correct... the website is still showing August 23rd. Not sure if I was hallucinating or what? |

Regular 294 | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia It's too bad that I've already registered for St. Paul Tri on 8/17. Let's see what people say about it and possibly I'll do it in '15. |

Minneapolis, MN | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia So has anyone heard if this is basically replacing the other lake waconia tri that is traditionally around the end of June? The original website says they have been bought by another company.... |

Expert 1059 Lakeville, MN | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia The Lake Waconia Tri that was at the end of June anounced that it was no longer going to run the race and was looking for a potential buyer. Since it was a BOUS qualifier race, there was a race at Lake Phalen that was set up as the qualifier for BOUS for this year and possibly beyond HTH |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Hits tri coming to waconia I talked via online to the race director for the HITTS series races and he says they will have the course map up very soon, probably by the 3rd or the 4th of January. I figured the whole HITTTS series races would have been dead in the water the first year, but it looks like they are doing ok. This will be the 3rd or 4th year racing. Hope to see them make it. As far as a calm swim?? Well, I guess that really depends on the weather. I'm not ready to jump back into IM distance again yet but maybe in a few years. Have to check it out in 2014. |
