Currently the most frequent question:
What is USAT and why the $12.00 fee?
Currently the most frequent question:
What is USAT and why the $12.00 fee?
USAT is the governing/sanctioning body for Triathlons. They provide rules for racing and guidelines for race safety that we must obey in order to be sanctioned by them. If you are a member then your fee is already paid. If not you must pay a 1 day $12.00 fee for insurance.

PICTURES 2011
We had several photographers running around the venue taking as many shots as possible. Most were amateurs but we had a professional who donated his time and efforts to provide you with quality, professional shots. Steve Toepp of Midwest Photographics has submitted his pictures for you to see and download. While you are at his site you might like to look at some of the other work he has done.

Thanks to Don & Charmayne (Eagle Lake Marine) Pete Colan (Spin Zone) and Bethany Cockburn & Mike Atkins for their hard work and expertise in putting this on.
