I'M A FIRST TIMER. CAN I REALLY DO THIS RACE?
In keeping with the recommendations of USA Triathlon, each participant needs to accept responsibility in determining whether they are sufficiently fit and healthy enough to safely participate in a Triathlon and that they will be sufficiently fit and physically trained to participate in any Triathlon which they elect to enter and that they have conferred with a medical doctor who has agreed to their participation in the Event.
Most participants will be able to complete a sprint distance triathlon - .75K (1/2 mile Swim, 20K (12 mile Bike) and 5K (3.1 mile Run) in 1 ½ to 3 hours. Career triathletes will complete a sprint distance Race in about an hour. Most women- even inexperienced athletes – should be able to prepare adequately for these distances with a minimum of 10 weeks training. Of course, training for a longer period of time could help improve finish times and technique. Past participants range in age from 14 to 87 and petite to plus sized; more than half the women who participate in the Danskin Women's Triathlon Series every year are first-timers.
MAY I DO THE RACE IF I AM PREGNANT?
Check with your physician prior to completing an entry form.
