Hello Gang,
The FAST Winter Triathlon #3 will be this Saturday, April 1st! We
will be STARTING the Ski AT 8:00am SHARP. Please plan to arrive
early at the ski hut for setup, race-course descriptions,
pool/clothing delivery, etc. Information of note:
1) We will be skiing a 10K course:
From the ski hut through the Skarland route, Estle connector, T-field,
and finish via Smith Lake, the Potato field, and power lines, per the
previous courses.
We will be running an approx. 11K course:
Same route as before (run along top of university, to Ballaine lake, down
past temp sign to patty center), but will continue on the road past the
patty center, up the hill to do a smaller loop again (this time WITHOUT
the cutback to the lake).
We will swim 2500 yards
2) You are WELCOME to do any combination you wish of the three events:
ski-swim, ski-run, run-swim, etc. You are also WELCOME to adjust
distances as necessary (ie, only one loop on the run, only 1000 swim,
etc.). We'd just be happy to have you join us!
3) Everyone should plan on coming to Lulu's afterward- that is the best
part of Saturdays, afterall!
4) We most likely will have little to no assistance on this triathlon,
unless somebody can rustle up a friend or preferably two to time,
transport materials, etc. Please plan in advance for this, as if there is
no help, everyone will need to time themselves, store their skis (throw
them in the bed of my truck on the way out of the run?), and get their
belongings to the pool in advance.
That's it. I hope to see everyone Saturday morning, if not before then.
Please feel free to send me an email (ftpad@...) if you have any
questions.
Best wishes and happy swimming to all,
Pieter
