 _ 2017 My First Tri - June:

The only race of its kind in Minnesota.  This race is strictly for those athletes who have never done a triathlon before.  We limit the size of this race to 150.  Although this is chip timed, there are no designated winners.  The purpose of this event is to have our participants fall in love with the sport of triathlon.  So we provide extra support to our athletes to make sure their experience is a successful one.  This is by far our favorite race of the season because the participants represent all ages, abilities and goals.  Many come to this race having overcome personal obstacles in the hope of calling themselves triathletes.  It is an inspiring experience.  Past participants have told us they love that they did not have to compete against experienced triathletes.  The atmosphere is laid back and fun.

Course Information:

The race takes place almost entirely within the Rice Creek Chain of  Lakes park in Lino Lakes.  The swim is a 400 yard swim.  participants enter the water one by one - 3 seconds apart (a time trial start) to ensure no one is climbing over our first time triathletes as they make their way through the course.  One less thing for our athletes to have to worry about.  The bike course is flat and features a two loop course on the paved paths of the park (roughly 2 miles of the course is on roads with ample shoulders).  The run is a flat 2 mile out and back.  Hammer Heed replacement fluid will be provided at the run turnaround.  

Directions:

Directions to the park can be found on our website:  www.trifitnesswbl.com/mft
