"Yesterday was the first triathlon I've ever competed in and it was for lack of a better word, Amazing!! Not only was the atmosphere pumped up
with positivity, but the support of the voluteers and fellow competitors was over the top. Congratulations on a successful event and judging by the turnout, a much needed event for the valley! I'm looking forward to participating in it again next year."
