Saturday was a great day for a Triathlon and our Triathletes Carrie & Lynn both had a super day! Carrie posted her fastest swim time ever and finished in 02:09:18.970! Lynn’s goal was to finish in under 2 hours and she blew that out of the water with a finish time of 01:54:54.527! We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments!!

Brandon of BCSE also participated in the Race for a reason and decided at the last minute to do the Mud Run! He finished with a time of 00:55:09! The Mud Run is a 4.5. mile run that goes through the ROTC challenge course and finishes at a slip-in-slide.
Over 1,000 people participated in the Race for a Reason Tri/Du, 5K, Mud Run, and 3K Walk and over $100,000 was raised for 87 different causes; 244 of those participants braved the Tri/Du. What a fantastic day full of personal achievements topped off with the great feeling of knowing that many worthy charities benefited from all of these efforts!
