McCann Man Aquathlon

La Jolla Shores, La Jolla
The McCann Man Aquathlon (swim/run) will be at La Jolla Shores on Thursday, July 17th. We will hit the water at 6:15 for a 1000 meter swim around the buoys, followed by a 3 mile run. Come out and join us to celebrate the life and legacy of Jim McCann. The traditional TCSD buffet will follow the race and earn points towards the Zoot point series.
Swim is a 1000 meter around the buoys.
Run will be an out and back twice.
RACE Begins at 6:00 – Show up early to set up your area. Pre-race instructions begin at 5:50. Sign-ups will begin at 5:00 so get there early to get a good spot in the open transition area. The Aquathlon will be chip timed. If you are considering racing you should try to buy your timing chip as soon as possible. We will send out chips to everyone that orders this week so they arrive in time for the race. We will likely be unable to sell chips at the race itself. Remember, the chips will be used at all TCSD chip timed events - even if you don't expect to race until later in the year it's worth getting it early. Order Chip
Registration: To register for this race, please visit the member’s area on the web site. Non-members can register here, but if the race fills up to our maximum number of racers of 150, the members will take priority. If you sign up but then find you cannot race, please contact me so I can take your name off of the registration list.
We need volunteers to help make this race run smoothly. Please email David Huff or Karam Gill if you would like to help and get some Grand Prix points for doing so.
