July
. . .
Iron
Abe and Stoneman Sprint Triathalons
There
will be two triathlons on Sunday July 25 at the Lindsay
Bridge Boat ramp. We hope to have about 500 racers
again this year. The Iron Abe (9/10 mile swim) starts
at 7:30 am with four waves spaced 3 minutes apart.
The Stoneman Sprint (500 yards swim) starts at 8 am
with four waves spaced 3 minutes apart. YMCA will
provide lifeguards. SUSART is being scheduled also.
The swim courses will be the same as last year. Water
buoys will be set on Saturday afternoon. The last
swimmer will leave the water around 8:30 am. All volunteers
are welcome at the post race party at the Lake Springfield
Beach House Sunday morning. Alternate plans are in
place in the event some alterations to the bike and
run courses are needed due to the repair work on Long
Bay Lane.
Each
year, our homeowners are strategic to the assistance
of the participants of these races. The swimmers sometimes
become distressed in the water and need to hold on
to catch their breath, then continue on or they may
need to remove themselves from the water completely.
They sometimes get overcome and need help in a hurry.
That is why we ask for your assistance in bringing
your boat or wave runner or both. Any flotation craft
is welcome at the race perimeter. Please arrive at
the Lindsay Boat Launch no later than 7:00 am for
instructions and placement. The races are typically
complete by 9:00 or 9:30. Our assistance is VITAL
to this event. Please e-mail me at slsiapres@gmail.com
so that I may share your boat numbers with the event
chairperson for planning purposes. Volunteers and
boats are needed to ensure a fun and safe event on
wonderful Lake Springfield. More>>
