Happy Seaside Sprint Racers

All of our athletes had an amazing experience both racing and volunteering. We had a handful of adult athletes compete in their first triathlon and they all completed the race and had a great time doing it. Our junior team found the race both challenging and fulfilling. Jared Sakolsky

Your kindness to me today touched me deeply. It so happened that, after almost a quarter century in this activity, physical issues have caused me to retire today. Today, all of the trifitness team put a beautiful exclamation point on those years. Thank you.Alan S.

The trifitness staff and volunteers at the Seaside Sprint Triathlon were wonderful. Everyone was positive, upbeat, and extremely helpful. Thanks for co-ordinating a fun event!Barb
