June 1, 2, & 3, 2019 3-DAYS, 4-TRIATHLONS, 140+ MILES = 1-EPIC EVENT. americantriple-t.com/american-triple-t/ In the words of Scot Rajsich: "Triple-T is an epic event for Triathlon Athletes.. It is at Salt Lake State Park in South Eastern Ohio.. very beautiful area... and hilllly... 4 races in 3 days. They have XT and ST events. XT is "long course". Friday is Super T, basically a warm-up race - super short triathlon. It was an all-out effort (250 yard swim, 3 mile bike and 1 mile run). Saturday morning is the Olympic Distance race (1 mile swim, 24.55-mile bike and 6.55-mile run). 3 hours later, we did the same course but this time we biked first, then swam, than ran. That was one of the hardest things I have ever done... Sunday, due to safety (raining, poor road conditions and some medical concerns the day before), I decided to do the short course...smart move. Weekend totals: 3 miles of swimming, 20+ miles of running, and 80+ miles biking with 8,150 feet (21% maximum) of climbing. I looked forward to 3% grades as a relief. Descents were scary 90-degree turns, on terrible roads, then straight back up. Maximum speeds, in races, were 43, 47, and 45.6 mph. Finishing was goal vs. placing..." - Jabitz
