Yesterday I went up to Devil's Lake to prep myself for the race there in a few weeks. I've done several races this year, but this is the only one where I always go check out the course ahead of time. The bike leg is an absolute monster, and I feel the need to prepare myself for it every year... as if to remind me how much it's going to hurt.

After doing the bike course, I took a swim, and then went hiking through the bluffs that surroud the lake, and took plenty of pictures. You can check them all out here.
