Weekend Roundup 5/18

We have finally recovered from our Redneck Riviera hangover and are ready to post results from this past weekend's races.

The Tennessee Tri Buzz gang headed down to Panama City Beach, Florida for Ironman 70.3 Gulf Coast but we still had some exciting racing going on here in Tennessee. Race Day Events hosted the Lakeside of the Smokies Olympic and Sprint triathons.

From their site, "For the the fifth year, RDE ventures east to the beautiful town of Dandridge and Douglas Lake for the 5th annual Lakeside of the Smokies triathlon. 2018 will again offer the 750 meter Swim/16 mile Bike/3 mile Run sprint option, in addition to the Olympic distance (1.5k S/40K B/10kR) option. The Olympic distance race features a 2 lap triangular open water swim, followed by a rolling loop bike course, capped off by a challenging run through town and across the famous Dandridge levy (aid stations ~every mile). The sprint option is a condensed version of the Olympic course (one lap swim), with a much flatter run course. Performance technical shirts, NEXT LEVEL tank option for women, race logo Boco "trucker hats", unique “wooden state” awards, and post-race pizza & BEER highlight the Jefferson Co. event. Expected participation--200"
