Mark your calendar for September 5, 2009. It is the date that the Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Bonney Lake “Labor of Love Triathlon” out of Allan Yorke Park. 
Triathletes will have the option of participating in Sprint or Olympic distances. Sprinters will swim about a half mile, bike 12.4 miles, and run 3.1 miles. Olympic triathletes will double that. The course includes swimming in the glacier fed lake, biking on the beautiful plateau farmlands with views of Mount Rainier, and running along the scenic shores of the lake.
If you have never competed in a triathlon, I recommend it. I did one a couple of years ago, and even though it hurts, it is one of the most positive competition events around. There are lots of great people helping out and they even cheer you on no matter how slow you go. There is a clock keeping time but it is really you against you. Once you participate in one triathlon, you feel compelled to do another because finishing is such a great accomplishment.
The race is being run by BuDu Racing. They have been running triathlons for some time and do an awesome job. You can get more information by clicking on their name or by going to their website: www.buduracing.com
Hope to see you there!
