ChesapeakeMan Ultra Triathlon - 140.6 Miles of Maryland Eastern Shore hospitality as featured in James Michener's book "Chesapeake". Start your day with a complimentary cup of Starbucks at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Spa & Marina's Infinity Beach. 2.4 Mile point to point Swim in the Choptank River to Great Marsh Park, home of the Eagleman Ironman 70.3 Triathlon (held in June). This is followed by a two loop cycling experience through the flat and windy Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The run is a three loop fast and flat course with a finish under the lights on the track of the Vikings Stadium. Join us for the Champions Brunch & Awards at the Hyatt Regency on Sunday morning. Prize Purse and Primes are awarded.
ChesapeakeMan Aqua Velo - Interested in challenging yourself but don't want to run the marathon? Then the Aqua Velo is for you! The Aqua Velo encompasses the 2.4 Mile Swim in the Choptank River and the 112 Miles of Cycling through the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The race finishes at the transition area where the full distance ChesapeakeMan competitors will continue on with the marathon. Just think -- "All Fun and No Run!"
ChesapeakeMan SwimFest - This event is for those who want to brave the waters of the Choptank River for 2.4 miles and then join the spectators to cheer on the other racers. The swim start at Infinity Beach is at the same time as the full distance race and the Aqua Velo, so there are plenty of feet to catch a draft!
My husband and I are tentatively planning to sign up for the AquaVelo at ChesapeakeMan. Training day for him for IMFL, goal event for me to begin really lengthening my swim and bike in prep for a potential IM in '09.
