There are several coal mines in Fountain County, especially in the southwest. About 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Attica along the Wabash River lies Portland Arch Nature Preserve and the Miller-Campbell Memorial Tract, a 435-acre (176 ha) preserve managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
There are 2,119.40 miles from Tri Cities to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in southeast direction and 1,356.35 miles (2,182.83 kilometers) by car, following the US-395 route. Tri Cities and CLT Airport are 1 day 12 hours far apart, if you drive non-stop.
In addition to the standard race distances, a race director could design a race that falls within a category: short, intermediate, long or ultra. A short-distance triathlon is anything that involves a swim of 0.2 to 0.6 miles, a bike portion of 5 to 18.6 miles and a run of 1 to 3.9 miles. Intermediate-distance triathlons consist of a 0.7- to 1.2-mile swim, an 18.7- to 31-mile bike ride and a 4- to 8-mile run. Long-distance triathlons have an athlete cover between 1.3 and 1.9 miles in the water, 31.1 to 62 miles on the bike and 8 to 18.6 miles running.
