There is a race that will keep you panting nonstop. At one point you are gasping for breath to climb a very steep road and at the other, you are panting for the bicycle ride of your life. Also in another pace, you are swimming as fast as you can. These are the basics of a triathlon.

Situated in the Mid Atlantic, the place is perfect testing area for optimum endurance, stamina, and strength. Savageman Triathlon is a festival for triathletes and at the same time, a treat for them because of the marvelous vistas surrounding the tracks. About a thousand athletes are welcomed to the competition but only one will be hailed as the champion.

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.

Considered as the steepest of all climbs in the history of triathlon is the Westernport Wall climb. This is perhaps the most painstaking in the whole course, yet as the athletes ascend, they are paid with the pleasure of viewing the most beautiful sceneries in the place. This is indeed pain and pleasure.

The shortest climb time record belongs to Phillip Grave at thirty minutes and thirty two seconds. It has not been defeated yet and many athletes aim high to take the record off him. This year, there are thousands of prepared hopefuls who are determined to make their own history at the legendary triathlon venue and event.

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 main rule of the race is to finish the race within nine hours. The breakdown of hours include one hour and fifteen minutes for the swim, six hours for the bike, and seven point five hours for the run. If within five hours they have not reached the thirty ninth mile of the race, which is also called the Killer Miller, they will be disqualified from the competition.

There are race managers and medics available in assigned areas to decide whether or not to let the athlete go on with the race. Thus, if a participant wants to finish the entire course, he or she needs to train real hard to survive the savage event. Moreover, there are more beautiful vistas as they advance so they will not be able to see those if they are told to discontinue.

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.
