For triathlon fans, make sure to mark your calendars for August 4 for the women's race, and August 11 for the men's race. Here are the key times as well as links for coverage:

The woman's triathlon final is scheduled for Saturday August 4th at 9am London Time, which is 1 am Pacific Daylight Savings Time. The men's race is scheduled for Tuesday August 7th at 11:30 am London Time, which is 3:30am Pacific Daylight Savings Time.
