Get Out There and Tri

This is a new tri, and Mary Meyer (the organizer) is trying to improve it. This year there were two races run in the summer, and triathletes could try to better their times. It was a super-​sprint distance (400 meter swim, 9 mile bike, 1.5 mile run), though you could choose to do the course twice to make it a little longer than sprint level. Glad I didn’t, because on the day of my race it was raining. The swim was great, but the cycling and running were dangerous because of heavy traffic. Be careful.
