We have chosen a triathlon that is beginner friendly as our first "official" team event. We encourage all OTTC members - newbies, beginners, intermediate, and advanced - to sign up for this triathlon. The Giant Acorn Sprint Triathlon, which takes place at Lake Anna Beach Marina, is a 750 meter lake swim (calm water), fairly flat 12 mile bike course, and gently rolling 5 K run. It is a late 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). Check out the following site for more details:

Sign up soon, as there is limited space. This race fills up before race day. 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.

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.
