Not Through Yet!

We like this post from last year... it's been updated for 2017, but the message is the same!


School is in session, football season is here, and you may be on the fence about racing again or throwing in the towel. After all, it's basically September, you might say… time to shut it down.

To that we say... "really??" Are you really ready to “tear down” your swim/bike/run fitness and hunker down for the winter?? Come on! The weather's great and you’re in race shape...  plus, if you're sitting on 2 local races for the year, one more qualifies you for our final rankings and potential swag!

Here's a famous pre-game speech with a classic "slow clap" to get you in the mood.

It’s a long offseason until our first local race, RaceTri's Icebreaker, rolls around. Sure, you'll set some monster goals for next year, but why not get another taste of the finish line??

There are 4 great local options to choose from over the next couple weeks:

Kokopelli - SEP 9th (Sprint/Olympic)

If you live down south, Kokopelli is a perfect option. Also worth the trip if you're planning on St. George 70.3 next May and want to get more experience on these hallowed grounds.

BRINEMAN - SEP 16th (Spr/Oly/Half)

Brineman is a TriUtah race in its 2nd year. Speaking from experience, this is truly a great venue. The swim takes place in a high quality, man-made water skiing lake. You ride out and back on the Antelope Island causeway... flat/fast and part of last year's Tour of Utah course. If you're doing the Half you'll also get some hills on the island itself. The run is flat, fast, and almost entirely on trails.

CAMP YUBA - SEP 16th (Spr/Oly)

Where's Yuba? If you've never done this one you might not know. Maybe you've passed the exit on I-15 and thought to yourself "oh yeah, I think there's a race there." As you can see by the map, it's actually not too far out of the way.

RaceTri's Camp Yuba has a chill, low-key vibe, and camping at the state park the night before a la Spudman is a great option. You can also hit up a hotel in nearby Scipio.

The water's nice, you have very little traffic to deal with on the bike, and the run is a great mix of roads and rugged trails.

Bear Lake Brawl - SEP 9th (Spr/Oly) 
with Half & FULL SEP 16th)


Last but not least, if you're up north (or one of our Idaho readers), the Bear Lake Brawl has your name on it. The water and whole area around Bear Lake is gorgeous... nuff said!

Regardless of which one you choose, we hope to see you out there this weekend... go get it!
