Because
the skate race was just recently added to the 25th
annual Tinsel Tri
event in Hemet, we were not able to get the skate portion listed on
their
event’s website. Not to worry, we can handle registration the old
fashion
way…..in person. However, it will speed things along if you could send
your
information ahead of time and simply pay your $15 cash the morning you
arrive.
We have plenty of help, and will take care of business without a
problem. Registration
at 7:00 am, start time 8:15.
The
course is a fast and flat 12 mile course. We use the same course as the
bike
portion of the triathlon. It is possible that our finish will be
slightly
altered from what is shown in the pdf link. http://www.tinseltriathlon.com/pdf/TRI_MAP_BIKE.pdf
We
are sort of a demonstration sport at this time, hoping to grow the
number of
skater participants to a respectable number in order to officially be a
part of
this great event. We are charging a minimal amount, $15, to be given to
the
United Way charity. This is a fraction of what the runners and
triathletes are
paying. As such, we will not have timing chips, or t-shirts. We show up
with
few expectations and a positive attitude, since we are guests. Those
who skated
last year are excited to be invited back to skate on this beautiful
course.
We
will skate rain or shine.

*If
you are in a hurry to leave after the event, you should not park at the
high
school. Roads remain closed for finish of triathlon. Walmart lot is
close, and
may be a good alternative.
