Introduction
The Cape Cod Triathlon Team holds semi-regular mock triathlons throughout the summer at Long Pond in Brewster. The base distance is usually 1/4 mile swim, a 10 mile bike and a 3.6 mile run. The swim is a freshwater swim out and around the roped swim area, the bike consists of slowly rolling hills on some moderately busy roads and the run is an out and back, heavily shaded section of the Cape Cod Rail Trail. All participants must be members of the Cape Cod Athletic Club. The events can be used as race tuneups, time trials, opportunities to practice various segments of the triathlon, or just an excuse to exercise for a few hours.
