SQUARE LAKE 70.3 PREVIEW - The 3rd edition of this version of this storied event that was inaugurated 19-years ago is happening this Saturday. Entrants can still sign up, but unfortunately, COVID-19 precautions mandate that spectators stay away. Bummer, huh? The MTN Guys have only missed one prior edition of this super-challenging event and we are going to need to be medicated next weekend so as not to succumb to what used to be known as "The Vapors."  ...

Since we haven't seen a list of registrants when this was written (September 2), we cannot make our usual semi-serious predictions, but we can share some historical data. Here, then, are the overall and Age Group records for the Square Lake 70.3:
