Survival of the Shawangunks
The Survival of the Shawangunks is a triathlon held in the town of New Paltz, New York. It is unusual in that it has seven transitions among the three racing modalities, compared to the two that are typical for the sport (switching from swimming to bicycling, and then from bicycling to running). Self-sufficiency in this race that culminates with a thousand-foot climb to the finish line is celebrated; participants must carry their running shoes as they swim and may only have a single person assist them during the competition.
==History==
The SOS was founded in 1983 by Don Davis as a way to train for the Ironman Triathlon. The best overall time for the event was 4:10:43 by Erik Grimm in 1993; Jan Wanklyn holds the record for best female finish with her time of 4:44:49 in 2000.〔
94 participants completed the course in 1998, the earliest year for which results are available.〔 〕 The race was capped at 150 participants until 2007, at which point the field was expanded to 170.〔 In 2007 and 2008, 149 competitors crossed the finish line; among them were triathletes from throughout North America, including Quebec, California, and Florida.
The race was originally run unofficially by Davis and two others in secrecy, as they had not obtained permission from private landowners for the competition,〔 but the following year's competition was open to other triathletes, all of whom must have completed a half-ironman triathlon in the previous 18 months, or in the prior year's SOS, within certain time restrictions in order to be eligible.
