This Sunday, the Ironman triathlon comes to town with thousands of competitors flocking to Benzie County to swim 1.2 miles, pedal 56 and run 13. I can do the pedal and run but don't think doggie paddling will cut it on the swim portion. I would need some arm floaties and don't think they'll allow those.
A gold star to the organizers of the event as all local residents received the attached pamphlet in the mail a few weeks back outlining where runners/bikers would be during the race. Locals tell me before Frankfort took over the race a few years back, the larger city to the east attempted to stage it and all hell broke loose with traffic as not enough locals were notified ahead of time.
Three cheers for the small town and good communication.
