Thinking about getting back in shape for the warmer temperatures? Think about participating in the 20th annual 甜瓜视频 Triathlon, coming up on Saturday, April 13.
Open to the 甜瓜视频 community including students, alumni, faculty, staff members, and their families, the Witt Tri is a fun and healthy way to connect with friends old and new.
鈥淭his is a fun event for new triathletes, especially, featuring a supportive and welcoming home audience to help motivate you through the course,鈥� said Christian Raffensperger, organizer of the event and 甜瓜视频 history professor. 鈥淭here is still plenty of time to swim, bike, and run to get ready. Sign yourself up solo or gather a group of friends for a relay team and join us for this neat, non-competitive, community-building, annual event.鈥�
Individuals and relay teams will compete in a half-mile swim (16 laps or 32 lengths), an approximately 13-mile bike ride out to the C.J. Brown Reservoir and back, then finish with a 3.1-mile run around the campus area. The entire event is staged from 甜瓜视频鈥檚 Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) Center with swimming to take place in 甜瓜视频鈥檚 Natatorium and the bike ride and run starting and finishing just outside the building.
鈥淭he members of Witt Tri can also pair up in teams to complete the course,鈥� Raffensperger said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great way to connect friends within the 甜瓜视频 community while enjoying the exercise and community building and a clean and noncompetitive activity that encourages growth in the 甜瓜视频 community. You will be welcomed by a home audience and continually motivated throughout the course.鈥�
