The Swim Course is a 1.5 kilometer loop in Harvey's Lake. Upon completion of the swim, triathletes proceed to the swim/bike transition area which is located at the The Harvey's Lake Beach Club.

The Bike Course is a 40 kilometer course that winds through Harvey's Lake, Noxen, Kunkle, Dallas Township, Dallas, Jackson Township, ending at the bike/run transition area on the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus in Lehman.

The Run Course is a challenging 11 kilometer loop that starts and ends at The Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus. The course features winding turns, inclines and declines over varying terrains. Water stops are strategically placed throughout the course in efforts to keep the triathletes hydrated through completion of the triathlon.

apparently i spelled triathlon wrong

lolwut

why exactly would you do this willingly? i just dont get it......

well i already run and ride... just need to get some swimming practice

honestly, i think i would feel about 17% cooler if i finished a triathlon, so i plan on finishing it

thats nuts man, but gl hf i hope no sharks eat you

1.5/40/11? can you handle all this?
ok swimming 1.5 km is not that hard, cycling 40 km is doable, but fucking running 11 km after all that is just pure insane

be safe wear a condom

lol harveys lake is dirty, i got im a huge faggots too

sweet gl

My friend jeff's parents have a house there on the lake. i grew up swimming in that shit infested man made monstrosity - what im saying is i agree, but im cool with it




the thing im most concerned with is the swimming... i run/bike all of the time. In the spring/summer i usually do both daily, but im not much of a swimmer. I'm joining the CYC in february to start training a bit

Is your goal to just complete it or do you have a time you are aiming for?

not too concerned about the time... im assuming ill finish somewhere in the middle of the pack. mainly, im focused on completing the race

1000th fitness post here

GL on this. a friend of mine in university was a triathlete. i'd be at his place with a buddy at like 830 am and he'd come in saying he just finished biking 80k etc. not sure i've ever known a harder worker. he's a naturopathic dr these days.

update:

August 22 is the day of the triathlolon.
I can officially (barely) do 28miles biking and 7miles running in one workout... now i just need to work in a mile swimming before that

thats pretty impressive m8, keep up the good work and remember how dirty harveys lake is

gl, it sounds grueling

bump for update

nothing really interesting.. the running/biking is in the bag. Recently joined the YMCA to get the swimming thing taken care of - i still kinda suck

negated by the 800% increase in faggotry by not eating meat
