Subject: Any Oly's in Mid-Late August In the Area
I want to do two Oly's this summer but my schedule is kind crazy.  I am looking to do a race in Mid to Late August or early September in either WI or somewhere close (N IL, W MN, N IA).  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Oshkosh http://www.midwestsportsevents.com/oshkoshtri.html Not really 'late August' but it's an option maybe. I'm sure there's gotta be some down toward Milwaukee/Chitown... Just ask some Donkai.

The Chicago Triathlon  is August 29th and has an Olympic course.  From what I understand it is crazy crowded, though.

The Bangs Lake Tri is a good one.  Great swag too if you care about that...

Early Sept is the St. Croix Valley Triathlon in Hudson. The sprint is on Sat, the oly is on Sun. Here's the site:

I watched this tri last year. It seemed to be well run. I hope to do one of them this year.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I am going to go with the St. Croix Valley one since it's up by our cottage that we will be at for the Labor Day Weekend.

I would sign up for Oshkosh but I think it's the same weekend as the MS Bike Ride and that's an "A" for me.
