We are organizing a mini triathlon "YayLifeTri" out at Vancouver Lake on Sunday morning June 24. It is meant for families with small children. The swim is 100m in the shallows (wading rather than swimming is great!). The run is 400m (jogging strollers are great!). The bike is 1500m (tag-alongs and baby carrier bike seats/trailers are great!). It should be a fun way to introduce kids to the excitement of a race (complete with numbers, and a transition area) in a safe, low-key environment. All participants will receive a free tee shirt (see below image) and some kind of award (TBD).
This year is a trial run, so we are only inviting close friends to participate (there will probably be some oversights in the planning). If it goes well, we'll make it into an annual event and publicize it.
The race starts at 10am and will be followed up with a potluck lunch including chocolate fondue. We will provide water, pasta, salad, and fondue with fruit to dip.
This is a free event sponsored by the SolSeed Movement, to celebrate the Summer Solstice and the evolution of life from out of the seas (the swim), onto the land (the run), and finally the development of technology (the bike). Hence the non-traditional order of events.
