Portland Triathlon Club Mock Triathlon Race Information

<h2>The Portland Triathlon Club presents an awesome opportunity to practice your triathlon skills in a non-competitive environment: <strong>The Annual Mock Triathlon</strong>.</h2> <h3>PLUS! Join us for a <strong>‘Mock the Mock’</strong> event, which will include a course preview the morning of Sunday, May 3rd at Lake Vancouver.  You are welcome to this free event for a self-paced or group course preview coupled with a ‘fix a flat’ workshop to cover basic bike maintenance and get us all set for the Mock Tri the following Saturday.  Stay tuned for more details as we near the date.</h3> <p>This is an excellent training event - allowing you to see where you are in your triathlon fitness, as well as offering first-timers the opportunity to try the sport in a supportive environment.</p> <p>This is a “mock” triathlon, not a formal competition with finisher medals and official timing. It is a learning race where all participants see demonstrations, attend clinics, and go through a Sprint or Olympic distance triathlon. Everyone has a chance to “tri&#34; in a safe healthy atmosphere.</p> <p>This is event is for participants 18 years of age and older. Current members are all welcome to participate!
