Found out that my wife booked our week vacation during Eagleman race week (hmmm...accidental?) and thus won't be able to do Eagleman a third year. In the same breath, she also said perhaps I could do Santa Rosa 70.3 as a substitute in late July. As I'm planning on doing the 140.6 in Louisville and would like a full train up, this seems a good option, especially as we have family in the area as well. I must say, tho, I am a little surprised SR is still open for regular registration. I understand this is a changed course from Vineman, but was wondering if there's any intel on the course on here? I see the swim is no longer the Russian River and is now Lake Sonoma; the bike course is still pending....how bad is this run going to be in late July? Understanding I am trading the sufferfest of Eagleman for this (potentially) would appreciate any insights on this race.

And watch Eagleman be record cool and overcast this year!

Thanks
