Triathlon events challenge sports enthusiasts by assessing how far they can physically endure and how fast they can get to the finish line. Three sports events are covered by the triathlon, namely swimming, running, and biking. The tracks and the location of such events are often very scenic and breath taking.

One of the most famous sports events in the world is held in Kent County in Eastern Maryland. Rock Hall is actually a small and friendly town in Maryland with very beautiful spots. Rock Hall triathlon can be the most amazing event an athlete can experience. It is also known to be historical because George Washington reportedly took Annapolis Ferry going to Rock Hall about ten times then went to Philadelphia through horseback. He did this during the time he was working for the independence of America.

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 next challenge is biking, which is more like a treat than a challenge to triathletes. This is one of the most ideal biking course in the world because the entire course is really flat and plain, like as flat as a thin pizza crust. The beautiful views of nature adds to the treat they will experience while on the course.

A long run will then follow if they will endure the previous swimming and cycling courses. The running course is also very flat and is ideal for running. They only need to focus because they might get distracted with the very beautiful spots they can pass by.

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.

There are available medics in designated areas as well as the organizers of the event. They are authorized to make some athletes stop the race if they do not have the capacity to continue the long race for safety reasons. There are also media networks present who will cover it for the rest of the world to see.

The International triathlon this year will be held on the thirtieth of May, Saturday at eight in the morning. The distance for the swimming event is one thousand five hundred meters, the biking course is at a distance of twenty four point five miles, and the run will be at ten thousand meters. Aqua bike will also be part of the race category.

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.
