UW Tri's Winter Team Race

Join us for the End of Winter Polar Bear Paw Thaw Extravabonanza!!! This is a FREE triathlon open to all members of the UW Triathlon Team. If you haven't done a triathlon race yet, this is a great opportunity! The race will be held on Sunday, February 19^th at locations on or near campus and last from about 8am-4pm. It will consist of an 800 yard pool swim at the Nat, a 20k simulated bike on your own bike hooked up to a Computrainer machine at SBR in Verona, and a 5k run at a location TBD. The times from each event will be added together for a total race time. The top 7 males and top 7 females in this race will qualify to represent our team at Collegiate Nationals in April. This is a fun team event to attend, regardless of your experience or desire to go to Nationals. It is a good opportunity to see how you are progressing over the winter and help establish goals for the summer. Also, not everyone races at once so there is lots of downtime to bond with your teammates while cheering others on. You won’t want to miss it. We'd like as many people on the team as possible to participate! Contact Jim Mott ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) ASAP for more info or if you'd like to join the fun!
