Rock Hall Triathlon Treats And Challenges

By Beryl Dalton


Triathlon events challenge sports enthusiasts by assessing how far they can physically endure and how fast they can get to the finish line. Three sports events are covered by the triathlon, namely swimming, running, and biking. The tracks and the location of such events are often very scenic and breath taking.

Rock Hall is just a small town with a small population but they are reportedly one of the most hospitable people in the world. The Rock Hall triathlon happens in Kent County, Maryland. It has a special place in history because George Washington used to pass through Rock Hall Harbor on the Annapolis Ferry. He crossed here several times before riding on horseback to Philadelphia to fight for American Independence.

Swimming is the first sports challenge that the athletes will have to go through. They will be swimming on the Chesapeake Bay, which has just the right amount of waves and winds that can be sustained by swimmers. They choose this spot is perfectly safe and also challenging.

After the swimming event is cycling. The bike course is long and very challenging, one which many athletes aspire for. Aside from that, the view is really beautiful and they can pass by lakes, the sea, some trees, and crops. The course is very plain and flat as pancake, ideal for biking.

A long running course is the next challenge. Yet again, it is more like a treat to the participants since they will get to pass through friendly towns, vast agricultural lands, and other attractive views along the way. It is also as plain and as flat as the biking course.

One hour is the limit for the swimming event, three hours for biking, and three hours and thirty minutes for the first lap of the run. They will have to go through two loops because it is an International level. If it is only Sprint level, the runners will have to run only one loop. As a general rule, they will not advance if they cannot finish the respective courses at the required time limit.

The triathlon management have posts in different designated locations. The medical personnel will also be there, who will make the decision to let athletes discontinue if they are deemed unfit or unhealthy to finish the entire course. In addition, the race will be televised with different prestigious media networks covering it. One of the most awaited race category is the Aqua bike.

The International triathlon this year will be held on the thirtieth of May, Saturday at eight in the morning. The distance for the swimming event is one thousand five hundred meters, the biking course is at a distance of twenty four point five miles, and the run will be at ten thousand meters. Aqua bike will also be part of the race category.

It is expected that many International athletes, amateur and professional will participate in the said event. There are those that keep on coming back annually because the place is really beautiful and the courses are just as challenging. The people are also very nice. Many tourists from other states and different and media personnel will surely be coming as well.
