Students will have the opportunity to compete in a triathlon this week at Portland State, with running, biking and swimming events represented. The abbreviated style of the triathlon is aimed as an introduction to the larger event.
The event, called the 20:20:20 triathlon, will be held on campus, and will include 20 minutes of biking, swimming and running, respectively. Campus recreation facilities, such as the rooftop track and circuit room bikes, will be used for all events. Event participants will be given needed equipment, such as towels and goggles, as well as snacks.
The event is sponsored by the PSU Aquatics Center.
Five heats are scheduled for the event, with up to five students or teams of students in each. Pre-registration for the event is $10 until the day of the event, and $15 on the day of the event.
The event will begin Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8 a.m. in the Peter Stott Center, with half-hour increments between teams.
