Many athletes came to Deerhurst resort weeks in advance to practice, and get a feel for the course.
Speaking with the organizers I discovered that the oldest person taking part in the triathlon on Sunday is 70 years old! Now that is dedication and stamina!
Athletes will run swim for 1.2 miles, bike for 56 miles and run for 13.1 miles!
The winner will receive a prize of $6500!
Hope to see you out there.
