Hy-Vee to offer live stream this weekend

Triathlon fans who can’t make it to West Des Moines can still catch all the action from the Hy-Vee Triathlon on their computers or web-enabled telephones.

Hy-veetriathon.com will carry a live stream of all events, from Saturday’s junior, youth and kids races to Sunday’s age-group contest and elite cup contests for men and women.

The action begins Saturday at 7 a.m., when 16- and 17-year-olds hit the water at Blue Heron Lake in Raccoon River Park. The competition wraps up Sunday at 3 p.m. with the highly anticipated elite men’s event, featuring the defending champion, Canadian Simon Whitfield, and Russian Alexander Brukhankov, the points leader in the International Triathlon Union’s world championship series.

Thanks for the heads up and the link.

Do you know what time the women’s race goes off? I couldn’t find the schedule on the site.

Yep, women go off at 12:30. Here’s a link to the schedule.
