Those adventurous enough to venture to the Training Partners tab may have noticed the recent addition of Midwest Sports Events.  With over twenty years of directing endurance events, they produce some of the largest triathlons in Wisconsin, as well as offering many duathlons, 5-15Ks, and half marathons.  And when a local youth organization joined forces with my triathlon club to start a youth triathlon program, MWSE was right there to offer their assistance.

In addition to providing numerous race opportunities, the company's executive director offered to help with training.  She arranged opportunities for the kids to practice open water swimming and volunteered to provide swim lessons when possible.  When it came time to register for the season's big race, MWSE went out of their way to minimize the program's cost and ensure the kids had a successful day.  Most importantly, they showed great flexibility in meeting the needs of the group.

So, if you are in the upper midwest and looking for some great events, take a swing by Midwest Sports Events and see what they have going.  I have personally raced in the Valentine's Day 15K, the High Cliff Triathlon, and the Oshkosh Area Triathlon.  And I know specific people who have completed the Paper Discovery Duathlon, the Green Bay Triathlon, the Chisago (MN) Triathlon, and the Green Bay Duathlon.  If the race websites leave you with any questions, let me know.  If I can't answer the question, I happen to know the race director.
