The start of the TriStar111 MinnesotaHave a look on what athletes said about TriStar Minnesota after the race ;)

A.J. Baucco:
"The TriStar111 racing format is truly the most unique and exhilarating distance in the sport of Triathlon. It gives athletes an opportunity to mix long course endurance with short course intensity without destroying the body for future events. TriStar111 Minnesota is perfect for both the athlete looking for a challenge and the athlete looking for a tune up race that won't leave them recovering for weeks. I highly recommend making this race a priority on everyone's racing schedule."

Mac Brown:

“The race organizers and local community during the inaugural TriStar Minnesota were world class. The race format provided a unique experience for all athletes, and it did not stop there. The post race festivities aboard the river boat were just as memorable as the race itself. Do yourself a favor and race TriStar MN in 2012, you won't be disappointed.”

Amy Kloner:
“I'm so excited to return to beautiful Maple Grove in 2012. The distance is perfect and doesn't completely shred you like a longer event might-- I love the TriStar format.  This race is just a ton of fun-- good people, beautiful scenery, challenging course, and a well-run event.” 

Karl Bordine: “Great venue. Great distance.”
