A legendary race as pinned by sports journalists exists in the Mid Atlantic. It is not a typical triathlon and is known for its brutality. On the contrary, it is also a very beautiful event that many triathletes aim at joining. It can be safe to say that it is brutally beautiful. It is physically brutal because of the very challenging courses and beautiful because of the majestic vistas that surround the venue.
Somewhere at the Mid Atlantic, at the heart of Maryland, there is a sports festival that every athlete dreams about joining. The savageman triathlon offers a lot of pain, that is, muscle and body pains. And also pleasure, which is the views and vistas of the tracks and courses.
The Deep Creek Lake is near the rough Allegheny Mountains. In this lake, the athletes will swim towards the other side and then will continue on to the biking stage at the Garrett County. This is known bicycle course which is challenging to participants who have first tried it.
Along the course, they will be climbing the Westernport Wall, which is the most brutal part of the competition. They are to climb the steepest triathlon course in history and if they make it on time, they will proceed to the next challenge. This is the ultimate test of their perseverance and determination.
In addition to the nice scenery that can take away all the pain and exhaustion, there are also local folks dressed in amusing costumes. There are funny signs and a lot of screaming tourists watching. All of which make the steepest climb all worthwhile. According to records, Phillip Grave holds the quickest climb which is thirty minutes and thirty two seconds.
This has been considered as a legendary event that will be remembered by any participant for the rest of his or her life. This event is also hailed as the most savage in the world when it comes to triathlon. Furthermore, this event is partly for a cause as well. It is affiliated with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, which is a watershed preservation agency.
The rule is simple. It is to keep on track for a nine hour duration. They will swim within an hour and fifteen minutes, bike at six hours, and run at seven point five hours. They will be automatically pulled out from the race if they cannot reach the Killer Miller which is situated at mile thirty nine.
Emergency response and race personnel are in every corner to monitor the race. They are tasked to stop an athlete from continuing the race if deemed unhealthy or unfit. Hence, the way to join here is to keep training hard especially for the brutal climb. Another more important reason to stay in the race is the beautiful views. There is no way they will be able to explore the other side of the course if they will give up or get disqualified.
The schedule this year is on the twentieth of September. The registration is ongoing. The final participants will gather in the venue at nine in the morning. The swim course is at a distance of one point two miles, the biking trail is around fifty five miles, and thirteen miles for the marathon track.
