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.
