The magazine calls them lesser known gems . . . those local, low-ke- y events one goes to, expecting a good workout and little else, but finding oneself having more fun than one had all season. It (the Hillman) offers excellent opportunities for athletes to explore new venues for exercise, hiking, camping mountain biking, water skiing, river rafting and canoeing. It is no wonder that many race participants make an entire vacation out of this event. Not many local races can boast spectacular scenery, pleasant and cooperative volunteers and a torturous course, but Hillman can, and does. The nine other triathlons selected by Triathlon Today ! are: the Big Bear in Big Bear Lake, California; The Fountain Mountain in Fountain Hills, Arizona; the Gold Nugget in Anchorage; the Salmon Arm Classic in Salmon Arm, British Columbia; and the Sandpoint Triathlon in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Piranha Be somewhat skeptical the next time you hear a story or see a movie with a gory piranha attack. The piranhas ferocious reputation is simply not accurate, according to International Wildlife magazine. Piranhas will rarely attack a large living mammal and their usual meal is made up of fruit and seeds. Each day 40,000 young children die of hunger and related diseases, says National Geographic. & THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday April 12, 1989 thousand Utah Summer Games application books have been printed and Twenty-fiv- e distributed throughout the state and are available from Summer Games sports coordinators, USG Regional Offices, and at corporate sponsor out- lets.
