Metrowest / Ashland Lions 2010 Triathlon
Posted by ttieuli | Filed under Events
The Metrowest / Ashland Lions Triathlon was run under cloudy conditions on Sunday, June 13th at the Warren Center in Ashland.
For the first time two separate races were run. An Olympic distance and a Sprint distance, roughly half the distance of the Olympic.
The races are run concurrently. 294 athletes competed with about 1/3 competing in the Sprint race.
About 35 Lions and Lion friends manned boats on the swim course and braved traffic to direct athletes and staff water stations on the bike and run courses.
As always, all monies raised go to fund groups and events in the community and to fund research into preventable and reversible eye disease.
Our thanks to Bill Fitch and F.I.R.M. Racing for managing this event and to all the volunteers who made it such a success.
