We also have a short option and teams categories for both distances available at Race #1 and #2. And if you aren't able to team up you can also skip any leg - just let us know at registration so a note can be made.

It makes the job of the results team so much easier if those details are available.   Other News: 1.  Our next junior event is a mini tri on Sunday 12 March 17 at Lake Alexander - register 7:15am.
