Join us for the first OTTC team triathlon of the year at the Rumpass in Bumpass spint triathlon. We have chosen a triathlon that is beginner friendly as our second "official" team event. We encourage all OTTC members - newbies, beginners, intermediate, and advanced - to sign up for this triathlon. The Rumpass in Bumpass is at the same site as the Giant Acorn Sprint Triathlon, our first team event where 10 OTTC members participated last fall. We hope more will participate this spring. The race takes place at Lake Anna Beach Marina and consists of a 750 meter lake swim (calm water), fairly flat 12 mile bike course, and gently rolling 5 K run. It is an early season triathlon, so temperatures will be quite agreeable and the water temperature will be cool enough to wear wetsuits (a plus for those of you not comfortable with swimming).
We would like this to be as much a social event as an athletic event. We plan on setting up the team tent and banner. It will be a great opportunity for first timers to get acquainted with triathlon. You will have more experienced team members on hand for guidance and questions. Come on out and support your teammates and have a great time.

Sign up soon, as there is limited space. This race fills up before race day. And the sooner you sign-up the cheaper the entry fee. The Virginia Triathlon Series and Setup Events tend to put on well run events. All levels of experience race in their events from the begginner to the elite. They provide great race support and after race meals.
Hello OTTC Members and Rumpass in Bumpass racers. I've posted lots of fun pictures from the event. Take a peak! Congratulations to all the triathletes who entered. OTTC had a great time and all who entered finished. Great Job! And volunteer support team, you are the VIP's who bring the spirit.
Hey OTTCers,
I found a house near the start in Mineral, VA. The rent is 500 for the weekend, Fri - Sun. I will prepare a pasta dinner Fri and Sat night for the group. Please let me know if you are interested and can commit to staying at the house. It's a 3 br 4 ba. Even if you're not planning on staying at the house please let me know if you'd like to stop by for the pasta dinner(s).
Cheers,
Darryel
