Weekend Update/5430 Long Course




Congratulations to everyone who raced this weekend. Results are posted below.

This weekend we have a lot of athletes competing in the 5430 Long Course. Preliminary forecast for this weekend is.....
Saturday: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 87.

Saturday Night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 58.

Sunday: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 86.


It is important that you are well rested, nourished and hydrated this week. your focus should be on race preparation and race strategy. Make a phone call to your coach early this week to discuss these areas. Our goal on race day is to race with a quiet mind. do not judge while in the middle of your performance. Keep your mind quiet and still.

We will have the Mile High Multisport Tent up on race day. Please feel free to drop your post race bag in the tent pre race. Remember, the transition does not open for a long time post race. Look for us directly across from the transition area. We may place a second tent by the beer garden.

Volunteer Opportunity:

I think it is important that each of you give back to the sport. This weekend, Mile High Multisport will be hosting the water station at the Splash/Mash and Dash race in Highlands Ranch (on Saturday). We need some volunteers to help hand out water. If you are racing Sunday, I don't want you there on Saturday. Contact Coach Pete if you can help out.
