Iron Abe and Stoneman Sprint Triathalons
There will be two triathlons on Sunday July 25 at the Lindsay Bridge Boat ramp. We hope to have about 500 racers again this year. The Iron Abe (9/10 mile swim) starts at 7:30 am with four waves spaced 3 minutes apart. The Stoneman Sprint (500 yards swim) starts at 8 am with four waves spaced 3 minutes apart. YMCA will provide lifeguards. SUSART is being scheduled also. The swim courses will be the same as last year. Water buoys will be set on Saturday afternoon. The last swimmer will leave the water around 8:30 am. All volunteers are welcome at the post race party at the Lake Springfield Beach House Sunday morning. Alternate plans are in place in the event some alterations to the bike and run courses are needed due to the repair work on Long Bay Lane.

Each year, our homeowners are strategic to the assistance of the participants of these races. The swimmers sometimes become distressed in the water and need to hold on to catch their breath, then continue on or they may need to remove themselves from the water completely. They sometimes get overcome and need help in a hurry. That is why we ask for your assistance in bringing your boat or wave runner or both. Any flotation craft is welcome at the race perimeter. Please arrive at the Lindsay Boat Launch no later than 7:00 am for instructions and placement. The races are typically complete by 9:00 or 9:30. Our assistance is VITAL to this event. Please e-mail me at slsiapres@gmail.com so that I may share your boat numbers with the event chairperson for planning purposes. Volunteers and boats are needed to ensure a fun and safe event on wonderful Lake Springfield. More>>
