Watch This Exciting Video Clip from last year's event to get psyched up for the 2007 race and even more motivated to train! If the above is not enough, watch the picture shows below from prior years' events: Every race has its signature. You'll never forget the Sands Steps in Alcatraz or Mama & Papa Bear in IM Lake Placid . We have our own unique signature - Claire's Climb presented by The Twyman Family... it will challenge you to the max and back during the bike course. In the 2006 race, Willem Hundersmarck and Karen Linner won $750 in prizes each with the fastest split times. Whether it's your first ever race or part of your tri-season, preparing for a triathlon can be a grueling challenge. There are so many factors to consider when creating your training schedule, and for many people, they often turn to friends and other triathletes who are more experienced. If training solo, our Preparation section addresses some of your important issues. If you want to join a training program then check out Team in Training.
