- We have had plenty of rain this year, meaning
that White Bear Lake is full of water! - Transition will still open at 5:30 am, but now
the age group transition zone will not close until 8:15 am. - The swim course is a SINGLE LOOP triangle-shaped
course. - All lakes have weeds, but OptumHealth is working
with Ramsey County Park and Recreation to lower the weed level around the swim
course. - The transition area is newly paved and so smooth
that you may just want to ride endless laps in it. - Manitou still has the fastest 5K run course in
the Twin Cities. Throw down a new PR and let that training pay off! - Hotdogs are back! Bring your best post-race appetite because we are prepping the Gear West grill NOW!
- Sleep in your own bed. White Bear Lake is pretty
convenient no matter where you live in the Twin Cities! - Gear West Bike and OptumHealth will be giving
away over $3000 of prizes after the race. Don’t miss your opportunity to win a
Kurt Kinetic Trainer, Quintana Roo Kilo triathlon bike, QR Ultrajohn Wetsuit,
or the Gear West Gear bag that is loaded with over $640 of tri essentials! Anyone who races has a chance to win these
killer items! - If you haven’t been out to White Bear Lake, it
is a gorgeous setting that any family member will enjoy. The lake is clean, the park and beach are well maintained, and the views are spectacular.
