Happy New 2012 Triathletes!
Preparations have begun for the 2012 Lake Como Triathlon on the 4th Saturday of July, the same day as the local Brewfest. The water level may be very low at that point, which means a longer, rocky run up to transition and not as esthetically pleasing; unless we get a lot of precipitation this winter? The sign-up date will be emailed from our email list, expecting February/early March.
2011 sponsor & participant funds were donated in the amount of $600 each to the Ravalli County Search & Rescue, the Lost Trail Ski Patrol, the Como Trails Club, & the Trapper Creek Job Corp Student Government. Thank you for a great 2011.
In the meantime, we are hoping for snow for Nordic skiing on over 40 miles of Forest Service Roads and trails on the south side of the lake, of which our bike route is part. (See Como Trails Club Home Page) And last, but not least, it is a long winter please consider adding this preferred Montana-style "off-season" treadmill training to your repertoire: You Tube Video. See you in July.  apc

Montana’s Biggest Event Secret: The Lake Como Triathlon
The Lake Como Triathlon is a race through scenic mountain settings and adventurous territory. Named after the famous Lake Como of Italy, the Bitterroots' Lake Como has attracted athletes, mountain bikers, climbers, skiers, and campers for years. Some have experienced the early morning swim across the lake; mountain biked scenic loops, and have run the perimeter of the shore line. Now, we will all have the opportunity to experience these adventures together,
Saturday, July 23rd, 2011!
This has been a word-of-mouth race. Very few people know about it, yet word is spreading. Popularity of the area has grown from a few athletes to a small crowd enjoying the location and training for open water swims; the likes of which had never been seen before and beach visitors scrutinized wet-suited athletes as if they were creatures from the black lagoon. Now, people are more familiar with the regular usage and often inquire, "Are you training for a triathlon?"

The Lake Como Tri is on July 23rd, 2011 8:00 AM. Last year's race was a hit. Most will be returning to better their times. The swim is 1500+/- yards, the bike is 12.6 miles of Forest Service Roads and three single tracks, and finally, the 7.7 mile trail run follows the perimeter of the Lake--crossing Rock Creek Falls at midpoint.
Good secrets are hard to keep. Spread the word on this one.
