Does anyone know how far the finish line is from the water? I am just rehabing from hip surgery & can;t run/ walk far?
I have been in some Chi tris that made us run 1/2 mile to the bike transition !!!!
You're the one who needs to do this sometime. I'm sure you've got the frequent flier miles for it!It's on my bucket list. First I have to just come out and do Big Shoulders, but LJRWS has become a family tradition now for my girls and I so probably not any time soon :(
How's the water temp been in Lake Michigan this summer so far?
Pool temperature for at least a few weeks now. Yuk. I think we've got a couple of days of SW winds coming up, though, that'll hopefully turn it over
It's only about 25 yards, but it might be hard to manage because it's up the sandy beach. It's not clear that a cane will help at all on soft dry sand. I would send an email to the organizers.
There's usually a map on their website Orca.
The course is a big triangle, you do it twice for the 5K.
To site the finish just look for the cool hi-rise condo building which is behind the finish. It's a very easy course to navigate. There's plenty of people. I usually lift my head minimally and sight off the splashes in front of me.
