2011 Xterra Lory Triathlon:

  • Looking for a NEW and challenging triathlon that is also close to home?
  • You love the road, but want to test out that mountain bike that's been sitting in your garage?

  • The XTERRA Lory Triathlon features a half mile swim in the clear waters of Horsetooth Reservoir (Eltuk Bay), it's one of the most scenic swims in the state with canyon walls on both sides.
  • Then it's on to a 2-Lap 12.2 mile single-track bike over rolling terrain, and across valley bridges at Lory State Park (same course as 2009 Fat Tire with an added passing zone halfway in).
  • Finish things off with a fun and challenging 4.8 mile (8k) run through the clouds on single-track trails!
  • This is the perfect off-road tri for beginners to experts. The course is designed so that anyone can have fun and everyone will be challenged!
  • Entries will be limited to 300 participants, and we sold out in 2010!

  • Course Information:


    1/2 Mile Swim, 12.2 Mile Bike & 4.8 Mile Run

    The triathlon course for the XTERRA Lory Triathlon will take place in Horsetooth Reservoir, offering breathtaking views of the canyon walls. Water temp ranges from 72-76 degrees.

    Swim:

  • The swim course is an out and back shape, with the swimmers traveling in a counter clockwise direction.
  • Participants exit the water and from the waters edge to the T/A will be CARPETED!!!
  • NEW for 2011: We'll be making each buoy placement a double buoy to widen the course, helping to prevent any cross over. We'll also try to shift the line to the left and help reduce the sun glare.
  • NEW SWIM WAVES: You'll be ranked by swim and mountain bike ability to help group you will similar ability levels out on the course!

    Bike:
  • This bike course has a bit of everything! Why the change back to the 2-loop 2009 course with a NEW passing zone at the halway mark? Easy, XTERRA is about challenge and keeping you on your toes.
  • Every year we're going to flip flop bike courses to keep things exciting, so the "Sun Monster" is coming back, just not yet. Get ready for some singletrack and more singletrack on this rolling and scenic course.
  • Overall the bike is begginer friendly. Seasoned veterans don't despair, The fast flowing nature is sure to test your engine and high speed technical skills.
  • Elites to First Timers all comment, "that was just fast and fun!"

    Run:
  • The 8K run is an epic loop with amazing views of Lory State Park and Horsetooth Reservoir.
  • You leave transition to the north on windy singletrack then cross the main park road.
  • Once onto the Timber Trail the race heads towards the clouds for a 1.75m switchback ascent.
  • At the top take a minute to breath and look around, we promise your jaw will drop! .5 mile of flat, then a screaming descent down Kimmons, followed by a flat last mile on the West Valley Trail.
  • Once you cross back over the road and shoot into Soldier Canyon you're almost there. Don't slow down though because you're going to need a full head of steam for the double lane Slip n' Slide. The best finish line in the sport, just remember to stay low and fast!
