The Colby Triathlon

September 19th, 2011

We are in the final week of preparation for the Colby Triathlon. We have around 130 people registered so there will be a great crowd on hand for the race. We greatly encourage you to pick up your race packets on Friday night at the Harold Alfond Athletic Center on the Colby College campus. The building is located directly across from the football field and track. If you go in the front doors, we will be off to your left. Picking up your bag the night before greatly decreases the chaotic nature of a triathlon and allows you to get most things ready the night before. BIKE RACKS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. However, because you enter and exit from different sides of the transition, all spots are pretty equal. Please watch the weather and dress appropriately. Even if you do not choose to use a wetsuit, please be aware that biking can be very cold when you are wet. We would rather have you take the time to change clothes in the transition then to get too cold on the course to finish. Also, the course will be the same as the past two years. We are trying to update the maps on our website, but we will use Webb Road to Eight Rod Road to Trafton Road – then the same as the course maps that are posted. We will have the current map posted and bag pick-up Friday night and Saturday morning. Safe travels, we look forward to seeing all of you!
