Trek and Danskin triathlons merge, with new date in Pleasant Prairie

The Xxtra Mile, race owners of the Trek and Danskin Women’s Triathlon Series, have announced that the two series are merging to one series under the Danskin name in 2012. For the last three years, two races were held in Pleasant Prairie, WI – the Trek Triathlon the second weekend in July and the Danskin Triathlon the third weekend in August.

The 2012 Danskin Triathlon in Pleasant Prairie is moving back one week, to August 26, due to a August 19 Danskin race in Seattle.

Pleasant Prairie Across-the-Lake swim on Saturday morning

We will be offering a swim across Lake Andrea on Saturday morning, August 21. There will be two start times: 7am and 8am. Registration will be $10 pre-registration and $15 day-of-registration. This swim is not timed, but we will have a pace clock on the other side of the lake which should give you an approximate time if you’re interested.

Note: there will be two guards following the group in kayaks, but there won’t be the full compliment of lifeguards as there are during the races. The platforms will not be completely in place on Saturday morning. Please keep this in mind if you’re nervous about the swim.
