I signed up for an Aquathon!

I was just browsing races in my area and came across this. It's actually a qualifier race for Aquathon World Championships in New Zealand (who knew that this even existed?). I looked at last years results and there were about 4 people in my age group. To qualify for Worlds you have to be in the top ten in your age group and then if people decline they will roll down to the top 14.

It does seem a bit different than last year so maybe there will be more people registered, who knows. The swim is 1500 meters and the run is a 10k. It should be fun.

I wish there were more aquathons!! There seem to be more duathlons though. Good luck!!

Fun! I'm doing an aquabike later this summer, which cuts out my worst leg of a tri. I wish they (2 sport races in general) were more popular.

Whoa! Where did you find the races? I can't run anymore, but I can bike. I'd like to keep doing some longer swimming races, too.

I find races using TriFind.com

It sorts them by state and race type. I.e. Tri, du, aquathon
