A surprisingly well organized race. I would recommend Lake Zurich Area Triathlon to both newbies and experienced athletes as it is small in size and the course is somewhat challenging. In 2010, the water temp was 81F and I felt very hot in the wetsuit, should I have swum without it. The bike course has some rolling hills and I would say run is a bit hilly. The race organizers have done a great job. I will do this race again next year.

This was my first triathlon and I have to agree that it was very well organized. After training in chilly Lake Michigan, I was extremely surprised to jump into the 80+ degree Lake Zurich. Even swimming without a wetsuit, I was still pretty hot. Lots of people all over helping direct throughout the race.
I really liked the fact this was not a hugely popular race, not as much pressure and I definitely finished a lot higher than normal.
