New user 29 Chanhassen | Subject: Lake Minnetonka Tri 2014 I've been off BT for a while, but I did some searching, and couldn't find a thread to this weekend's race! I was shocked, considering they had to close the beach due to that whole "sewage" issue- I thought there would at least be some chatter about that!! As I sit here this morning, listening to the POURING rain, I can't imagine this won't happen again before Saturday?! Or if the high water is going to be a problem?! Anwyay, who's doing this race? Anyone? I've had a lack of interest in training, so I'll be grumbling the whole way through. I rode the bike course last week, and it was painful. I forgot how much I hate those hills on Lake Lucy Road. Someone get me excited about this race...please?! |

Well...you'll be able to float over most of those rocks on the way out of the water this year! The sewage discharge was on the opposite end of the lake and not necessarily directly upstream from excelsior. The bacteria levels at the Mound end of the lake have returned to normal for this time of year, and I don't know that they ever went up that much at the race site. The water was tested in Excelsior on Monday and was OK. Of note, the water level hit an all-time high today since recordings began in the early 1900s, which is rather incredible to think of. Reminds me of the LTF tri last year when they had to cancel the Oly race because the second portion of the bike had water across the road after massive storms the night before. Probably would be the same if it were held today or tomorrow. Good luck to everyone! |
