Orem runs triathlon in reverse
The upcoming Telos Timp Triathlon & 5k will have its events in reverse order – the run will be first followed by the bike ride, and then the swim will finish things off.
The run will be a 3.1-mile loop on a course that will have only one hill. The 12-mile bike ride will be three loops around same flat course (which means the riders will be riding the same hill three times). The route will still have traffic on it, and Orem police will be at the 4-way stops to direct it. After riders complete the hill for the third time, they will be directed toward the transition area for the swim.
The 350 meters swim will take place in the indoor pool at the Orem Fitness Center. The triathlon will be a timed race and timing chips will be in the race packets.
Spectators will only be allowed on the observation deck of the Fitness Center, so any banner printing needs to be kept to a minimum. Post-race food will consist of oranges, bagels, Swedish fish, banana and trail mix. Water will also be handed out.
There will be a pre-race meeting 15 minutes before it begins. Here, the race director will give information about the course.
Timp Triathlon & 5K will be at the Orem Fitness Center at Mountain View High School, 665 W. Center Street this Saturday, April 21 starting at 8:30 am.
