Rowathlon
Posted by Concept2 News on the 6th of February 2003
Everybody loves triathlons. FACT. Everybody loves indoor rowing. DOUBLE FACT. So it stands to reason that some ol' clever clogs was someday going to try and wedge them firmly together. The result of this matrimony is the UK Rowing Triathlon Series, four triathlons where the traditional swimming element has been replaced by the Indoor Rower. The first race in the series, the Castle Combe Charity Rowathlon, takes place on August 17th and features a 3km row, followed by a 21km bike ride and then a 3km run. The aim is for all four of the races to be joined together in some way to have an overall champion.For more details on the Rowing Triathlon Series or any of the individual events, visit the website at http://www.rowingtriathlon.com.
