If a long course triathlon was on your new year’s resolutions, you need to check out the Oregon Anvil Triathlon at Hagg Lake. Held on Friday, July 15th at 7am, this event offers a ‘Single’ Anvil or a ‘Double’ Anvil. The single is a regular long course triathlon with a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run.

The entire village is turned into an athlete’s pavilion, with the finish line at the center of it and tons of booths to peruse. Pacific Crest has one of the best expos around; I could spend hours browsing through the tents. Since there are so many events, it brings a…
