3Sports is super stoked to be sponsoring the Power Sprint Triathlon on May 23rd and it appears we’re not the only ones! Over 500 participants have signed up to take part in the triathlon, which will begin at the Shady Grove YMCA located in Glen Allen at 7:00 AM.
This race is perfect for competitors of all levels. Whether you are a beginner or need a warm-up before triathlon season gets into full gear, this race will certainly be an incredible experience. The race consists of a 300meter swim in the indoor pool at the YMCA; then transitions to a 20k bike ride on the rolling terrain of three different counties! The final phase of the triathlon will be the 5k run back to Richmond.
This event is presented by GroundForce IT, and benefits TechReach of Central VA. TechReach helps develop computer literacy skills in the underprivileged as well as protecting the environment by refurbishing computers that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill.
With the Power Sprint Triathlon only a week away, we hope that all you racers are taking the necessary steps to make sure you are at your best at the start-line. Over the next week, we stress how important it is not over-extend yourself physically leading up to the big day. Most likely you have been training for the triathlon and the week before we suggest that you let your body rest a bit and take this time to look over all your gear. We hope that as you discover your threads are a bit too worn from last season or your bike needs a tune-up that you will keep us in mind. We would love to have you come in and check out our new location on River Road. Any excuse to talk up triathlon strategy with a fellow racer, we’re game!
