15 August 2010 - Spent a few days in Tampa FL last week working on the course. Pool Swim in a 50 Meter Pool, you will then be driven 2.5 miles to the back entrance to the park where you will ride 2 miles to get to the 7 mile Bike Loop then another 3.5 miles to get to the start of the loop
(where the timing station and support area is and check in) and then continue along the flat, 13 foot wide, one way bike loop (rollerbladers and runners use this as well, but everyone moves along in one direction). The 1.75 mile run loop is separate from the bike course. I will post some pics soon but
you can see them on the FaceBook page I have created for USA Ultra Triathlon here, if you have a FaceBook account
14 July 2010 - Just got word yesterday from the Park Manager at Flatwoods County Park in Tampa FL that we can hold our Double IRON race there. Working out some issues with them as far as a date (late Feb/early Mar 2011 timeframe). Also have chatted with the YMCA where the swim will take place in their 50 meter pool. they are a 5 mile bike ride away from the 7 mile bike loop in the park, there will be a separate 1.7 mile run loop. More to come. 12 June 2010 - The military has denied our request to hold the September Double IRON here in Va Beach, VA so that race will be held at Lake Anna State Park 17/18 September. That is a Fri/Sat race. Intent is for everyone to rest up Saturday night and then have a nice awards brunch on Sunday. I have updated the information page with both applications for September and October. If you can do the September race, think about doing that one versus October. The September race will also be the 25th Anniversary race of when Huntsville AL first held the Double IRON Tri, the first in the world. 18 Oct 2009 ~ Pictures taken by Ben Madden and his girlfriend Andrea There are four different sets, one for each day of the race and one for the awards dinner. Check them out and let him know if there are any you want. He is figuring out how much a CD of so manny will cost, his email is ben at benmadden.com. 13 Oct 2009 ~ The race is over, we all survived and we overcame a few obstacles. We hand timed pretty much the Triple IRON athletes, having some timing issues when those guys started, but the timing system worked well for the Double IRON athletes. I have the results pasted below, I still need to find my sheets where we captured the run times for the Triple athletes.
The weather cooperated for the most part - NO RAIN. It was 43 degrees when I got up Thursday morning at 0715, it was 53 degrees I believe on Friday for the swim start and 58 for Saturday's swim start. The swim had some chop to it Friday and it gradually got worse as the morning went on, but for Saturday it was a flat calm swim. Temps never rose that high
and we had a low of 43 degrees again Sunday morning.
