Yep, that is correct – you read it right! Registration is now open for the 30th annual Mid-Summer Triathlon and Duathlon, by AA Sports. This incredible combination of events, which is also the Tri Northwest Sprint Distance Championship event for 2014, will be held near Portland, Oregon (at Blue Lake Park) on Sunday, August 3, 2014.
Why is this event something you want to make sure to get registered for? Well, it is a Hawaiian themed triathlon and duathlon taking place at the wonderful Blue Lake Park near Portland (close to the airport). The water for the swim is traditionally so warm most participants don’t wear a wetsuit. The bike course is flat, as is the run. And, the finish line Hawaiian themed party is sweet. There is an awesome video highlighting the course and event that you should definitely check out.
