Ludington in August is a perfect venue for a triathlon. Swimming in a protected area behind the breakwall going out towards the lighthouse was the signature moment, but biking out to Ludington State Park provided awesome views as well. All 3 disciplines’ courses were short of the official Olympic distances, so that’s my one issue that this hasn’t been dealt with in the race’s 20 years of being held. Still, it was a nice destination race for celebrating on my birthday weekend.
