Triathlon. club plans for first competition — SWIM. BIKE. RUN. If those three words start the adrenaline rushing through your body, then Terrace’s newest club is for you. The Pacific North Coasters triathlon club, which formed last month, is already planning their first triathlon on July 10 at the Kin Kamp at Lakelse Lake. ~The Barkman triathlon will be an Olympic distance with a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run. A short course will also be offered with a 750 metre swim, | _ 20 km bike and 6 km run. ’ Teams will be allowed to compete on the long course, _ letting two or three people complete the events. Club president Crystal Thomas loves the combined trio of sports and the social aspect. “Triathlon is really so cool,” she says. “Lots can bike and run but can they swim, bike and run all at the same time and make it through the triathlon. “To be with like minded people.is really cool.” — She said the Barkman will include a cross-country run component, a change from the usual highway run in other ; triathlons. - The run will take athletes down First Avenue and along the Twin Spruce trails at Furlong Bay, which. is “unbeliev- able” scenery. » “The trees are huge and you run over little bridges. Itsso’ § picturesque,” says Thomas, adding that the trees will shield _ runners from any rain. But first, athletes will swim along a 750-metre triangular course at the Kin Kamp. » Long course athletes will complete two laps, while short course swimmers will finish one lap. Athletes then hop on their bikes and ride through Jack- _ pine Flats on Old Lakelse Lake Road from the Kin Camp to’ Hwy 16 down to Thornhill Creek and back. © Any bike is welcome, but a road bike is preferred. - .“A road bike is faster but riding on a mountain bike is completely legal,” she says. Then the run loops the trails from the Kin Camp to the trail turnaround at the Furlong Bay entrance and back to the cam : Taeas are already i in the works for regular training days and events and a junior program that will eventually be orga- nized through the Kids of Steel program in Kitimat. Tentative plans include a swim session for wetsuit training _at Lakelse Lake in May and a nutrition clinic in autumn. So far 14 members, including some Kitimat and Prince Rupert athletes, have joined the club. Interested members or Barkman volunteers can contact Thomas at 635-4632 to become involved.
