I ran this race before it was a half Iron. It was a spring triathlon, and it was really well-run. Nice course where spectators could see the racers at multiple points on the course without needing to do a lot of moving from one place to the other.
Iron bought this race and I haven’t run it since then. But the lake is beautiful and the surrounding area is worth a visit.
