Outdoors Triathlon Update
Here is the final update for the First Annual Outdoors Triathlon. During this triathlon you will need to carry a pack that has the following:
- two liters of water
- an extra par of shoes (not sandals)
- an extra shirt
- extra pants
- a jacket
- a power bar or apple
- a camera
We will start at 9am at the pavilions at the mouth of Rock Canyon. 
From there you will ride your bikes to the drinking fountain (see picture) where we will have some to watch the bikes while you hike.
From there you are on foot. Hike to the first bridge but do not cross it. stay on the right side and follow the orange tags (see picture) that we have placed to mark the trail. You will follow this up a steep trail and eventually work you way West. There is some scrub oak along the way so I would recommend wearing pants. 
Eventually you will notice that the trail stops at the edge of a 200-foot-high cliff ban. We recommend that you harness up and take the rappel down that we will have set up for you. We will have some extra harnesses but I would recommend that you take your own harness and belay device so that you don’t have to wait for one. If you decide not to do the rappel you can hike down and still be a winner.
After the rappel you will hike down to the trail that you came up the canyon on. 
Once you hit this simply head down canyon until you reach your bikes. All you have to do then is hop on and cruse down to victory. There will be people hiking up the trail so be sure to be careful.
We invite you and you friends to attend, we will also try our hardest to make sure that you have a fun and safe time. We cannot, however, prevent every accident from happening, so by attending you realize that the triathlon has inherent risks and that you will not hold this site, BYU, or the BYU OAC presidency responsible. Thanks!
