Rumilly, France, 2012
In a couple of weeks Alessandra will do the Rumilly Super Sprint Triathlon, so we went down there to make sure we could find the location, and see what is what. It's a pretty nice location, the pond is crystal clear and not too cold. In the picture above, you can see the bottom (only about 1-2 meters) in both the extreme foreground, and the far background (once the cloud reflections are replaced by the tree reflections, middle right). The Cheran river is very near, next to one of the other ponds at the park, it looks like the running course goes through a newly planted arboretum too (the trees are all young). After scouting the swim and run courses, we had a light lunch and drove the bike course, which is very typically-France-countryside-scenic. Slightly uphill on the way out and just the opposite on the way back. It should be a great short tri!
I'll be sure to get lots of pictures during the tri, so I'll get lots more to share in a couple of weeks about Rumilly.

There is also a karting track at the park too.
