Xterra Utah Off-Road Triathlon (2012)!
The first time I'd ever heard of a Triathlon, I wondered what it was. It sounded sporty. It is something sporty! It all began in 1996 in Maui as Aquaterra. It's like a marathon but involving 3 different activities: swimming, mountain biking, and trail running. Whew!
You may enroll in the Championship race, or just for the Xterra experience!
Have you ever been in a Triathlon?

Triathons are becoming very popular, but - even as a relatively fit gym instructor - I consider them to be evil and horrendous!

I've never been in a triathlon, but have friends who have. Tough stuff.
Great choice for the letter X!!
I'll just watch it on TV, thanks!
I'd need to get into serious shape and ditch the cakes:)
No. I cheer on my kids. They do the triathlons. I see that they have good food after they cross the finish line.
I did a sprint tri a few years ago. I think it was a 500m swim (though that sounds awfully long), a 16 mi bike ride, and a 3.12 mi run. I felt like I had prepared to the best of my ability, but wow--I was humbled.
To this day, it goes down as one of the hardest physical things I've ever done. And I didn't even get a medal for finishing. Tri Rule #1: Only register for races that offer medals.
