Triathletes train painstakingly to acquire the required amount of endurance, strength, and stamina for a series of sports event they will take. They will have to go through not one, nor two, but three sports events. Running, swimming, and biking are the most common events for triathlon. The chosen location for events like this is usually those that are astonishing. The athletes will not only be challenged but will also be treated with spectacular places they can pass by as they progress throughout the race.

Rock Hall is just a small town with a small population but they are reportedly one of the most hospitable people in the world. The Rock Hall triathlon happens in Kent County, Maryland. It has a special place in history because George Washington used to pass through Rock Hall Harbor on the Annapolis Ferry. He crossed here several times before riding on horseback to Philadelphia to fight for American Independence.

The triathletes experience swimming first at the Rock Hall Harbor, swimming through the Chesapeake Bay which is considered as a safe yet challenging location for swimmers. The waves and the winds are just enough. There are areas where the winds are really strong that they can chop anyone who would swim. Of course, the safety of the athletes are prioritized by the organizers.

The triathletes will then have to bike through a very flat course. They can go as fast as they can because it is not bumpy. They can also get to see wonderful spots like lakes, oceans, agricultural fields, and townspeople smiling at them as they pass by.

A long running course is the next challenge. Yet again, it is more like a treat to the participants since they will get to pass through friendly towns, vast agricultural lands, and other attractive views along the way. It is also as plain and as flat as the biking course.

As for the allocated time, they are required to run approximately three hours and thirty minutes for the first lap. For the swim, they need to finish one hour and three hours for cycling. Athletes who will not be able to finish within the required time will be disqualified.

The triathlon management have posts in different designated locations. The medical personnel will also be there, who will make the decision to let athletes discontinue if they are deemed unfit or unhealthy to finish the entire course. In addition, the race will be televised with different prestigious media networks covering it. One of the most awaited race category is the Aqua bike.

May thirtieth is the date to save for triathlon enthusiasts and spectators. That is a Saturday at eight in the morning. One thousand five hundred meters of swimming course need to be raced by the athletes, twenty four point four miles for the cycling, and ten thousand meters for the running part.

It is expected that many International athletes, amateur and professional will participate in the said event. There are those that keep on coming back annually because the place is really beautiful and the courses are just as challenging. The people are also very nice. Many tourists from other states and different and media personnel will surely be coming as well.
