Triton Elite Multisport

2013.  A new season, a new TEaM.  Triton Elite Multisport welcomed new and veteran members to TEM’s training session at Lake Louisa, in prepation for the Draft Legal Challenge/Clermont, which will include an EDR for the Juniors and U25s and an F1 for the 12-16 yos.

The chilliest day of the year in FLA did not freeze our spirits, although a little bit in the swim.   The TEaM did a group run, scouting the course, followed by a group ride practicing the race’s 180 degree turn.  One water entry and one exit was all the frigid temps would allow.  Although one brave TEaM soul returned for another interval.  Bravo Arriana!

Soon after a feast of pot luck was enjoyed by all.  Thanks for coming out!

     On Running and Outspokin Bicycles have both been tremendous in their support of Triton Elite Multisport.  We couldn’t have run or done this season without you! Thanks!

TEaM made it to the Finish of the 2012 Season in grand style with an 8th place among all development teams (30+) across the nation.  Ten Triton Elite Multisport athletes gave it their all and posted some grea performances against the best field the Youth/Junior Championships has seen.  Congratulations to each athlete!

Here is how the TEaM did…

The FAU Wellness Triathlon in Boca Raton, FLA turned into a duathlon after high winds stirred up the waters creating rip currents and an increased presence of man-o-wars.  So Ciara and Sam rolled with it and cruised to easy victories in the 13-15 and 16-19 Talent ID series categories, respectively.  Sam saw a 3 min drop in his bike time from last year, and Ciara saw a bike split that out-dueled her dad for the first time, by a whopping 7 seconds.  Ciara was 4th overall female with a cruising run, and Sam was 11th overall.  Great work you two!!!
