Anyone doing Batavia tri? Also, the course previews and clinics?

I did it last year.  Great bike and run courses but the swim is pretty lame, it's basically in a wading pond.  I would say a good first season race, or for someone with anxiety about the swim.

The laid back swim is actually why I chose to do this one. My first tri and I'm hoping a good practice before the international at the Chicago event.

What do you know about lodging? I don't know the area and I don't want to stay in the wrong place.

I wouldn't call the swim laid back, it's pretty crowded.  I think you have to do 2 laps and they send people off every couple of seconds.  I drove there the morning of the race so I don't know about lodging.  I would guess you would be pretty safe as long as you stay away from Aurora.  I'm sure not all of Aurora is bad, but there are some rough areas.
