Thanks to Chrissie Wellington for her Tweet and to friend of Triathlon Rocks Jen @ milesmusclesmommyhood.blogspot.com.  What a great pic!

It was great to have this many participants! The only downside is that the timing crew was stretched thin...so please email us with updates or additional information and we will update our records the results.

Also on Friday "Kona" Carl and I journeyed onward to measure the buoys at Lido Beach.  Lido provides a very nice set up for 1/2 Iron distance swims but any distance works well here.  Here are a couple of suggested routes.  And if you're looking to make a change in your life including a fitness goal and/or completing your first triathlon, check out Carl's site at carlknutssonfitness.com
  

   A Friday morning kayak venture along Siesta Key Beach allowed for the opportunity for some official GPS measuring.  Thanks to "Kona" Carl for the company and entertainment!

Thanks to Nicole for sharing this moment with us...

     Nice job recovering from the broken ribs...but please...no more pool cover work until after Kona!  Good luck at Alcatraz!

   
    Although enduring some challenging conditions, athletes at the 2011 Florida International Triathlon enjoyed a great destination race at Siesta Key Beach (rated 2nd best beach in America) with all the post race food you could possibly eat under the cool shade of Australian pines.  The Sarasota Storm Tri Club orgainzes this race 2 weeks after each year's St. Anthony's Triathlon.  This years race's title sponsor was Wilde Honda of Sarasota and benefitted the Challenged Athletes Foundation amoung other charities.
