For those of you who have been in the sport long enough, the Bud Light triathlon series may ring a bell. - - - - - The Hagg Lake Triathlon was one of the stops on the six-city Bud Light Triathlon Series tour. The Northwest actually played host to two of the six event, the other taking place in the Seattle area (Mercer Island in 82 and Bainbridge Island in 83). The Bud Light Series actually continued to criss-cross the country through the mid-90s, but only continued its Hagg Lake stop until 1987.The Bud Light Triathlon Series played an integral part in jumpstarting the sport of triathlon here in the Northwest. [LI]The venue really hasnt changed much since the early eighties. The waters still wet and the bike course is still challenging. - - - - - |
