Musselman is a great race. Did it in 2009. It's probably sold out by now. Last information I saw was late March and they only had a few slots to fill. Lake Stevens 70.3 has moved into the July slot now (normally in August). I have raced there twice and the course is challenging but very scenic.

X2 for Muncie. First time for me but...... based on reviews, great race support, closed bike course and a challenging run I am looking forward to it.

x3 on Muncie

Great race, can't say enough good things about this race. I had such a good time last year I signed up again this year, worth the 14 hour drive

Muncie!!

x3 on Musselman. It is a great race, except for that run course, which I both love and hate. It has owned me boht times I have done it.

I am doing Muncie this July (just moved to Ohio), so great to hear people recommend it.

+ a billion

I've done both the sprint and the half-iron distance in this event and it is an awesome weekend. I would venture to say the east coast's version of WF without the camping (although to be honest I haven't actually been to WF!). It's the perfect race to start the long distance part of the racing season. Weather-wise, it was beautiful two year's ago, and pretty damn hot last year.

According to the website, the 70.3 race is currently 98% full... see: http://www.onemillionrevolutions.org/regx/list.jsp?r=1227

Okay I'm stumped about the Muncie love. I looked at your site, and I tried trifind. Neither shows a half in Muncie in July. Is this a secret race?

It is a WTC 70.3 race in Muncie

Musselman.

I'm moving to the Boston area next week, so I signed up for Providence 70.3.

Racine is pretty fun

I do not know if June 30th works or not but you have Tupper Lake in NY "next" to Lake Placid.

I signed up for the Vancouver 1/2 in July. It will be my first of this distance, but I put it out to the ST community when I was considering it and it got great reviews. I know the area and course pretty well and it is indeed beautiful, and should be great in July.

Just in case you felt like getting far away from home for this one :)

Long Chile was a silly place.

Did Providence last year, doing Musselman for the first time this year.

---------------------------------------------------

I did Mussleman a couple or three years ago (can't remember exactly).

I loved it; great race; well run; great venue; logistically easy.

simply not in my schedule right now.

What kind of Tri are you interested in difficulty wise? Check out the Desert Half in Osoyoos on July 8th. If you like continuous up and down, the bike course is on part of the IMC course, over Richter pass, then the bitches, then a turn around and come back over the climbs in the opposite direction. The swim will be in a warm lake, and may be wetsuit legal (or not) and the run is pretty flat.

At the other end of July (the 29th) the Calgary half is on. This will be wetsuit mandatory, a challenging ride with no steep hills but some long grades and a run through a river valley with some steep ups and downs. The swim is in a reservoir which I think just had the ice finally come off, the ride is a point to point. Great view of the Rockies as long as it is a nice day.

Pain is temporary, not giving it your all lasts all Winter.

Where do you recommend staying to be close to the race site?

If you are a camper; then the grounds near the lake are OK. 765-747-4872. They will know the options. If you want to stay in a hotel; call the Muncie Visitors Bureau at 284-2700. I would try Muncie, Anderson or Richmond, Indiana.

Musselman in Geneva, NY is a fantastic venue, plus you can go wine tasting afterwards. The dry rieslings are pretty decent out there. If it is a hot day like last year, 93-95, that already difficult run is going to turn into a death march.

Throw in another vote for Musselman. And I completely agree -- both love and hate that run. The best part was the section where you have the option -- run up the stairs or up the hill. That course owned me.

But seriously, this race is fantastically run. They have great support, a great venue -- great all around. The only complaint I have about that day is that I did not race smart, and that has nothing to do with the race itself. I'm missing this race this year, but I will definitely do Musselman again.
