INTRODUCTION
DUATHLON - Dam broke...but we have a swim option for ya!
Red Rock proudly announces the EIGHTH year of the Soma Triathlon.  Since the dam broke at the lake, this will be a DUATHLON this year AND we are bringing back the Quarterman.  This is our marquee event and we plan on making it yours too!  This event is a great tune up for Ironman or just a great way to get out and compete in a half in a pheomenal setting.  Race this one and you will get a Head Sweats visor, a tech tee and one heck of a good time!

Email Communciations from July 30, 2010 - please note that we provided several options for registered athletes on July 30 via direct email.  The specific details and the link to RSVP is located here
