"I'll probably do the Mideast Regional oly in Auguast"
Eagle Creek? Have you done it before? I'm considering putting it on my calender this year, just looking for some comments.
I've done this race twice, plus about a half dozen other races at Eagle Creek (I live in Indy). The Oly distance course is pretty easy, I'd say. Not a lot of hills -- Indy is pretty flat, especially on the run. The bike course exits the park and goes out into the country, which is mostly flat with some sharp turns on country roads. There is no traffic to speak of. The run course is entirely within the park so no worries there. It seems like they mis-measure the swim course every year, I dunno. I think it was in 2000 I swam that course, had an awful time, then 6 days later I did USAT nationals in St. Joe and swam 8 mins faster for the 1500m?
My only concern here is that it seems like every year I do this race it is freakin' HOT outside...like 90 degrees with 90% humidity. Just my dumb luck, I guess.
