Speaker 5 (02:01):
Have Chris True with me from River Action of course,
coming up very shortly, we are going to tame the slugh.
I always love the creative names y'all come up with.
But let's talk a little more about what happens with
this big event.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Chris, Well, good morning, thanks for having me, and I
think this is going to be the year where we
finally do tame the.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Slough, I hope.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
So that's right. And this is a three tier event correct.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Yes, So it's like a triathlone. Some people call it
a venture raised triathlone. Is there is a cycling portion,
there's a running portion, and there's a paddling portion. So
it's not swimming in the Mississippi. It's paddling either in
a kayak or a canoe.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Okay, And I guess here's the big thing. Let's talk details.
When is it going to happen, where, and maybe how
people can get registered.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
What's coming up here in just a couple of weeks.
So it's September twenty eighth, which is a Saturday morning,
starts at eight am, and it's at Bass Street, YMCA.
There's a rowing club down there and the new Kone
building right on the Mississippi River. It's absolutely beautiful down there,
and so that's the center hub for the entire race.
So the nice thing about this race compared to some
(03:23):
other triathlones is you have to you have to put
your gear, you know, kind of all over the place. Well,
for this event, everything is in the same spot, so
logistically it makes it a lot easier for our afforts
and so yeah, it's that. It starts at the bat
Street YMCA and you paddle right there around the slough
(03:44):
and then the running segment goes onto the Arsenal Island
and that's just about that's just two miles out and back.
And then the cycling portion you cycle to the Sylvan Island,
do a lap around there, come back and that's the
race and is.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
In that tier. I mean you paddle, then you run,
then you bike.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
The paddling starts first, okay, all right, and then you
ride your bike. Oh and then you.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Run okay, okay. I just wanted to make sure, if
you know, because how I would do it is I
would have a three person team and that would make
everyone do it all the same time. I think that
would be cheating.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
That's the nice thing is you can do it solo.
So if a person wanted to do the whole thing solo,
they can paddle, drop off their stuff, do the bike,
drop off their stuff, and then finish with the run.
Or you can do it as a as a three
person relay, or you can even do it as a
two person team.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I do like this, and the most important part about
this event is not only do you get to see
some gorgeous sites around the quad Cities that you don't
normally see because you're in kind of a different angle
and atmosphere. But it also helps a great cause. You're
raising money for River Action, which does so much for
our quad cities.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
So much Action's been around for forty years and the
list is just uncomprehensible of the things River Action has
done to make the qualities what it is now. A
lot of emphasis on the bike trails along the river
and so much along river and having to do with
the river. There's so many environmental aspects, community aspects, cultural
(05:22):
aspects that is River Action Now.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
If people want to register and they want to sign up,
or they just want to find out more information, or
maybe they have friends that they're like, oh, dude, you
got to get in here for this event's gonna be
so much fun. Where should they go to find out more?
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Riveraction dot org slash teaming is the website and you
can get more information there, and you can also get
registered through our website.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
And whether I don't know when people will be actually
listening to this podcast, and it could be a little
bit later, but I just want to make sure and
throw out there that the nineteen you're going to have
a practice. So if people want to come out and
practice so that they're real fast for the whole Taming
of the Slough, you actually do allow people kind of
(06:11):
like getting ready for the Bicks, you do have to
train a little bit, and this gives you a shot
at kind of running through it first.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Right. Yes, so that's called tune up for taming, and
it's just it's real laid back and casual, but it
is an opportunity to test out your gear, get an
idea of what pace you want to go at. And yeah,
so that will be the nineteenth at five point thirty
down right there at the same location at the Bats Street.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
