Come Enjoy beautiful Dauphin Island, Alabama, in mid October when the weather is temperate - "not too hot - not too cold - just right"  The 4th annual Tri The Gulf is hosted by the Mobile Bar Foundation, Inc. and the presenting sponsor is Infirmary Health Systems.  All of the proceeds benefit civic and charitable endeavors located in Southwest Alabama, notably providing free legal advice and services to persons with limited financial means.  The TTG is based at the iconic Isle Dauphine Club on the Island,  The swim occurs in "Pelican Bay," which is an inlet off of the Gulf of Mexico.  Triathletes have the benefit of Gulf water - without the wave action.  The "cable tow" approach is used for the swim.  The bike ride is on beautiful Dauphin Island and the Dauphin Island Bridge.  The run is on the Island and ends adjacent to the seashore of the Gulf of Mexico.   Wonderful after-the-event party for all participants and volunteers.  Great finisher awards and swag.   The race is USAT sanctioned and led by an USAT certified race director.  For more information go to TTG's web site:  www.trithegulf.com or TTG's Face Book page:  www.facebook.com/trithegulf
