This event was held this morning and it got absolutely no press, not even on DY. I went out to cheer on a friend of mine and it was great, but I am surprised that it hasn't been mentioned. Anyways, congrats to all the triathletes who participated! |

Sounds kind of fun...I'd do it but I need to get myself in shape again...i'd run probably half a mile and then pass out. |

Well, you have about 51 1/2 weeks to get into shape! That's plenty of time. |

Any word on attendance? I know that this is their second year. I plan on doing the sprint event next year, so I hope it will be around. |

The attendance was great, that's why it was so strange that the event had no publicity. Over 400 participants and lots of family and friends so it'll definitely be around. I watched Fox 2 News before I went over to Belle Isle and they were covering a walk/run in Livonia, but not the triathlon. I talked to my friend who competed and we both agree with Tiorted, a better publicist is needed... Or maybe a publicist is needed period. But like I said before it was great, and Belle Isle is perfect for such an event. I need to work on swimming and that is my goal so that I could compete as well. The results are on the web site. http://www.3disciplines.com/in dex.php?option=com_docman&task =cat_view&gid=109&Itemid=36 |
