Welcome to the inaugural REV3 Florida Triathlon in Venice, Florida.  Hope you packed your sandals, your snorkel…AND your race kit, bike, and racing flats – it’s officially race weekend!!  The unofficial water temp today is holding at 78 degrees: a sure sign it’ll be a non-wetsuit swim for the Professionals and borderline wetsuit swim for the Age Groupers.  The weather should be partly cloudy and mid80s.  We’re holding onto summer, folks!

We have some of the world’s top professional triathletes who will be competing for $75,000 in prize money in the Rev3-Half Rev and battling it out for points in the series finale.

Make sure to tune into our tweets, facebook updates, athlete and family videos and blogs over the course of the weekend- our social handle is: @Rev3Tri and our live coverage website will be at: rev3tri.com/live.  We have a ton of things planned so make sure you’re in the know and if you can not join us this weekend, we hope to bring you along through our social media so you can “feel” a part of the excitement down here in Venice, Florida!

Here’s some local information to ensure you have everything you need and you’re ready for race day! Oh yeah—and plenty of things to do with your family!!
