Lake Stevens HIM?

[Starfish]

Did a search for this, but wasn't successful...

Have any of you done the Lake Stevens WA HIM...or 70.3...or whatever the correct translation is?

Was it well run? Good course? Appropriate for a first try at that distance?

Do you mean that you could not find any info on it?

Here's the site:

Looks like a pretty neat course. If I were closer, I might like to try it myself.

A person from my gym was going to do that one. If I see her, I'll ask her how it went

Starfish, you truly thinking about doing it next year?

Starfish, you truly thinking about doing it next year?

No!!! Dreaming about maybe 2009.

Do you mean that you could not find any info on it?

No, I did find the website (but thanks anyhow )...but, I was curious to hear if any TE women had done it, and how they felt about how well it was run, what they thought of the course for a beginning 1/2 IM, etc. More the personal TE comments!!

Thanks!!

You know what? I think a friend's husband did that! It was his FIRST tri, also. Crazy....I'm sure it was that one. She watched it (and is tri experienced) so I'll see if I can get both opinions.

Hey, thanks. I also just realized there is a yearly HIM and Oly, too, down in Bend OR. That's close, and I always like to plan events where there is likely to be more heat and sunshine. I try not to schedule events in Western WA if I can help it. But, Lake Stevens is CLOSE!

Edited to add: I know it might sound fairly audacious to consider an Oly or HIM as a goal without ever having done a Tri (although I am talking 2 years out). But, for some reason, it is dreaming about the bigger distances that tend to get me excited enough to try stuff.
