Tumbleweed Triathlon
The 2010 Tumbleweed Triathlon was held on Sunday July 25th at 7:30 AM at UTPB
We are updating the new site... However, the costs and format will be same as last year. If you wish to use last years application (at this time)... that will be acceptable. New applications, posters and brochures will be available very soon. The only major changes to the brochures and posters is the graphics.. the triathlon is still being held on the 4th Sunday in July.
The Race is a
U.S.A.Triathlon (USAT)
sanctioned event and also a part of the
Southwest Challenge
Series. Points toward the Challenge Series and National
Rankings are awarded for this triathlon. Triathlete packet
pick up is available the day before the race at the Central YMCA
location - 3001 E. University. However, the race start
is at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB)
Swimming Pool.

* - Due to construction... the course was SLIGHTLY changed and will be noted in the records. Course Record tied by Bobby Gonzale- current course record holder. Honorable mention to Mr. Mosley who was 4/10's of second behind the course record.
These are preliminary results. I see any omissions or errors... please contact Ed or Joe at the e-mail indicated below. The final results will be available soon. Those final results will be sent to USAT... the preliminary results will not be sent until we verify the information and re-check our information.
Thank you for your participation and good job done by everyone...
Next Years Race will be held on the Sunday following the Midland Tall City Triathlon - which is typically the last Saturday of July...
We could use help
promoting the race. If you would like help promote the race,
the above links provide applications and a poster. So, if you don't see
one at your local bike store, favorite work out place or YMCA, we would
appreciate your help.

The order has changed from prior years.
The run is a mass start. The run is an out and back course
at the UTPB campus. The bike course is the same as last
year. It is an out and back bike course. The swim is

swim transition. All two race transitions are continuous
and are similar to a typical swim bike run transition format.
The swim is a snake format that allows for continuous racing.
Details regarding the snake swim format will be described in
detail at the race. This is a very common and simple swim
format used by triathlons that use pools for their swim and will
be easy to understand when described before the race.
