Event comments:

They had to cancel the Tri portion of the race do to E. Coli bacteria levels too high in the water to be safe to swim in. This was my first Duatlon, so pretty happy with the results overall. Hats off to the Tri-Shark workers and volunteers putting on a great event under the unforseen circumstances of the water and the storms that passed through during set up!!!!

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.
