IMPORTANT TRIATHLON INFORMATION! It is "Triathlon Weekend Eve!" We've had a quarter century (Minus a couple of virtual events) using a system to host our beloved triathletes. We did change the course once, changed the timers a couple times, but other than that, it's been years of "standard operations." This year feels a bit like an inaugural year as we reconfigure things to host an in-person race alongside the Rec construction. Here is some parking information to get us started. We will have mandatory meetings before each event, 5:30 pm tomorrow for the kids and 8:00 am for Saturday where we will cover full instructions. First, please be understanding that the set up is new, and like all first time things, it may not be perfect. Please be patient as we transition to a new race director and say good-bye to our devoted race director, Brock Wurl. This event is a huge challenge, and John is working hard for you. Parking for both days is a good place to start! There are lots at Centennial Park, the ball fields and 2 lots east of the Rec for parking. The east lot closest to the building is the transition area, so it will be blocked off. You must use the east driveway into the open lots. The west driveway will be closed. We ask you NOT to park on McDonald Rd south of Cornhusker Circle. You cannot park on Francis west of Union St. Francis St. will be closed just prior to the start at Union, and McDonald closes at Cornhusker Circle. Good news! The runway from the pool to transition is MUCH shorter! We will cover full details before you take off! To our out-of-town friends, please prepare, just in case, for a little moisture. Forgive the locals, our drought and fire danger is severe, so we may be happy dancing!
