By The Nelson Daily Sports
It’s days until the horn blows for the 2014 Nelson Cyswog’n’Fun triathlon.
Saturday, at the Lakeside Park beach, the 2014 Nelson Cyswog’n’Fun club took to the water for a test run of the triathlon distance.
Club members have been training for up to two months, swimming in the NDCC pool along with running and riding distances to prepare for the big day of the Nelson Cyswog’n’Fun Triathlon — set for Sunday, August 3 at 8 a.m.
Many of the club members tacklet the short course of 500 metre swim, 22 kilometer ride and five km run run.
However, some take on the main Olympic Course race of a 1.5 kilometre swim a 39 km cycle and 10 km run while others hook up for the team event.
Short course is 500 metre swim, 22 km ride and five km run run.
In 2013, Eddie Smith of Penticton ran away with the men’s long course top prize while Sarah MacArthur of Calgary won the women’s race after Helen Munro of Kelowna was disqualified.
In the short course race Ian Sharp was crowned the men’s winner after it was determined that Connor Breitkreuz of Robson missed a turn, forcing race officials to disqualify the local competitor.
