Xterra Stoaked 2011Triathlon course map
This weekend, Storrs Pond hosts the swimming and part of the trail running for f the Stoaked Off Road Triathlon. This annual event started with a trail run on Saturday morning, then the standard triathlon at 1 pm. The main triathlon is on Sunday at 9 am.
The children’s race started at 4 pm at Storrs Pond. Organizer Chad Denning encourage the group to keep in mind that this was “an event, and not a race.” Although thunder theatened, there was enough of a pause to allow the competitors to cross the pond, then complete the running section, and finish with a mountain bike ride.
