Join us for a spectator friendly and exciting two-loop bike course at this long running triathlon. The swim is in Double Oak Lake, the bike on smooth state park roads, and a run touring along the lake and on an unimproved road through the woods.

Well done.

Despite the rain and some last minute confusion about the bike distance (resolved race morning), the folks at Team Magic pulled off a great race. The water was perfect, bike was scenic with some moderate hills and virtually no traffic and most of the run passed through the woods. The race organizers did a great job. The volunteers were energetic and helpful, again despite the rain. My only thought, and this goes for alot of races is to start the post race festivities before the race is over. This would give the spectators something to do (and we all want them happy don't we), would provide a more energized finishing area, and keep the standing around bored to tears to a minimum. ALl in all a great race and I am looking forward to next year. Kudos to Team Magic.
