Would there be intrest in a 10k OW in Mid MO in 2009
Former Member
I am going to attempt to host/direct a 10k open water swim in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri next year.
Would there be any interest in this or would I be 'barking mad' trying to organise a race here in such a beautiful 95 mile long lake? We have fantastic hotels, motels, camp grounds, and other post / pre race entertainment in the area. I am just trying to get a feel, as to the possible response to a race held here.
Please reply either PM or on the post :-)
Cheers
Trevor
Beautiful new lakes to swim in are always of interest, but some of us won't be doing a 10k just yet. Can you set up shorter courses as well? (Options of 10k, 5k, 2.5k, and so forth would seem more likely to draw the numbers.)
Difficult things to deal with: roving course markers, buoys too far apart to see, kayakers that run over one, cold, stale muffins at end.
Camping facilities nearby? Other entertainments so those who drive could make it a weekend?
Anything in the water to be concerned about? :eek:
A new lake to swim in! :)
