Memorial Day Triathlon

Monday May 28, 2007 will mark the first annual Fountain Valley 3rd Ward Triathlon. We will be completing a "Sprint" triathlon which allows some wiggle room on distances. We expect the distances to be roughly:

• Swim: 1/4 - 1/2 Mile
• Bike: 12-14 Miles
• Run: 2-3 Miles

The course is currently being designed under the direction of our fearless Elder's Quorum leaders and will be published shortly. A map will be provided as soon as possible. Suggestions are welcome.

The first suggestion received is to Swim in Newport Harbor, Bike along the river trails and run around the Greenbrook greenbelt.

For those who don't want to swim, bike and run you can participate by:

1. Watch bikes while participants swim
2. Watch bikes when they're dropped off to run
3. Provide cups of water along the way
4. Man the starting gate
5. Man the finish line
6. Provide medical assistance as needed
7. Photography

A training regimen is available to anyone who wants it. It's a structured 2 month schedule that will make sure you survive.
