Racing Underground August Newsletter | August 7, 2013 |
August is already here, but there is still lots of great multisport racing on the 2013 calendar. The Racing Underground late summer schedule starts heating up in just 3 weeks, with the West Side Duathlon in nearby Arvada. The West Side Du has quickly become my favorite duathlon course in the area! This run/bike event is the perfect introduction to multisport racing for runners and cyclists, with two distance options to choose from. If you can run a 5K and you own a bike, then you can complete a duathlon. Our tri schedule includes the Littlefoot Triathlon in 2013. This is a new event on the Racing Underground calendar, but it is one we've been timing for the past 6 years. Littlefoot is the only sprint tri at the popular Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood. This is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event that attracts a nice mix of pro's and age group participants. We are excited about acquiring this special event! The Crescent Moon Triathlon and Aquabike is another September favorite, taking place at the beautiful Aurora Reservoir. It is also the finale in the 2013 Front Range Triathlon Series. From the 750 meter swim in crystal clear water, to the closed-to-traffic bike course, to the beautiful run on a mix of dirt roads and bike path, the Crescent Moon is the very best way to end the summer tri season on the Front Range. A fantastic bar-b-que follows the race!!! The Desert's Edge Tri Festival closes out the Colorado Tri Season with a bang in wonderful Fruita, Colorado! The Desert's Edge is now in it's second year, and we have added a Saturday off-road tri to compliment Sunday's on-road sprint & Olympic events. With festival-style camping just 100 yards from transition, we saw over 400 campers at this event last fall - it is definitely worth a road trip! The campground is open to athletes and their fans, only, during race weekend - this one is not to be missed!!! We are on track for another sold out event, so be sure to enter soon. Stay tuned for our next email, which includes details on our great winter events, including our winter running series and the always-fun Chilly Cheeks winter duathlon series. I hope we'll see you at the races!!! Darrin, Jill, and the Racing Underground crew! |
