The Clearwater Triathlon with 1,500 elite-level triathletes compete in the second annual Clearwater Triathlon Ironman 70.3 world championship. There where only a modest crowd at the Clearwater Triathlon but officials of World Triathlon Corporation, which owns the Ironman brand said it was a success.
Top finishers in this year’s Ironman 70.3 series received automatic bids to Clearwater Triathlon Saturday’s race. Though most will finish well behind the few dozen pros in the field, the championship offers the rare opportunity for weekend warrior age groupers to compete alongside the elite in the Clearwater Triathlon.
A modest crowd of 8,000 was expected for the Clearwater Triathlon. Only a few reporters turned out for a morning news conference for the Clearwater Triathlon Thursday. The Clearwater Triathlon gives an opportunity to showcase the sport more around the country giving it a better opportunity to grow.
A triathlon is an athletic event consisting of swimming, cycling and running over various
distances. In most modern triathlons, these events are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence and a competitor’s official time includes the time required to “transition” between the individual legs of the race, including any time necessary for changing clothes and shoes. As a result, proficiency in swimming, cycling, and running alone is not sufficient to guarantee a triathlete a competitive time.
