This past weekend a bunch of us raced in the Rev3 Triathlon in Sandusky, OH.  Friday night was the Glow Run where about a dozen local firefighters ran in turnout gear.  On Saturday, a few firefighters participated in the sprint distance race.   Sunday’s half and full ironman distance races took place with more team relays and a few firefighters racing on their own.

Sunday morning Lake Erie was rougher than the forecast called for.  Imagine that.  We swam in 3-5″ waves to start out the race.  The bike course was dry and not overly hot, but just a little windy at times.  The run course is mostly flat.
