The Canby Telcom Gator Grinder Triathlon is an
excellent introduction for the first-time triathlete, as well as a
great early season event for the experienced racer. The swim
will be in a pool, the bike course is over beautiful rural roads
and the run is flat and fast. There will be road bike,
mountain bike and relay divisions. All proceeds support the
Canby Swim Club.

500-yard (20 lengths, 10 laps) pool swim in a
6-lane, 25-yard pool, with up to 4 swimmers per lane. There
will be volunteer lap counters. Drafting is permitted.
The swim will be seeded by the 500-yard swim time participants
submit with the entry form. Heat assignments will be e-mailed
by the Monday prior to the race. The first heat will be in
the water at 7:30 a.m. Check in at least one hour before your
start.

| The one-loop 12-mile bike course is over the
beautiful rolling country roads that surround Canby. A
Snell/Ansi-approved helmet is mandatory. Drafting is not
legal. Volunteers will manage traffic at intersections, but
roads will be open to traffic and cyclists will be responsible for
their own safety.
