New race format coming to Minnesota this weekend 1k swim, 100k bike, 10k run, anyone racing in Maple Grove this weekend? Small field off 100 or so, but some big name pros such as Macca and the GCM. If anyone is in town for this event and is up for a pre-ride Friday send me a PM!
I’m in…
Rode the course on Saturday - hope they do a little cleanup prior to Saturday - quite a bit of gravel/dirt/etc. on the course in certain parts.
Looks like I might have a chance at cracking into the top 100 (ha ha).

I am in. It is a small field but there are some really fast people racing in age group.
Any pro women out there want to make some easy money? Looks like there is only 1 pro woman signed up.
The course should be in fantastic shape come Saturday. Street sweepers are being sent out Friday and the local fire department is going to pass through and spray down corners as needed. Should be a great event again this year!
in.
Great! see you guys in maple grove. Im arriving Friday mid afternoon and probably taking the bike for a ride before checking in. Read the athlete guide and it seems as though they run transition similar to Ironman but a little different as well with the use of gear bags and a friday bike check-in. Still need to book a hotel or find a campsite nearby and snooze in my car overnight.
I think the format is awesome. I gotta go do Tristar Monaco one of these years, because of the spectacular setting of the swim course and the absolutely amazing bike course…even the run course is pretty cool!
I’m in as well. Excited for the race the sat. night cruise.

The 1/100/10 is an awesome format. You gotta race Monaco Dev. The bike is AMAZING and the run is cool too. You go up the Avenue d’Ostende (towards the casino) 3x, go past the Hotel de Paris, past the bends by the Fairmont Hotel, through the ‘F1’ tunnel and past the harbour. *That’s *a run course!
Will be there. It sounds like it will great event!
So it is Sat…Someone tried telling me it was Sunday and I told them that was just silly.
I’ll be the one rocking the bright lime green shades on the run.
In…if for no other reason than to give y’all the thrill of passing some poseur on a pair of unmarked aeolus 9 d3s. Look for the tubie stinger under the saddle and say hi on the way by.
