Always a great time of year to end your season and it is the last race of the year in the great state of Oklahoma (including KS, MO and AR)
Great lake (no wake) in a protected cove. This is the most spectator friendly swim in the state allowing the Athletes supporters to walk the shoreline for the entirety of the distance always knowing where they are. Great kayak support
