Splash & Dash Spring Series

The local Splash and Dash races are a great way to kick off the triathlon season, gain some experience in the open water and get together with friends and fellow triathletes. Jeremy and 4 Peaks Racing put on a great event where you can chose between different distances and also can chose between just splashing, or splashing and dashing.

This year I'm planning to participate 3 races to get some speed and more and more race experience before the "A" races of the season. It's always nice to see everyone and represent my sponsors. Big thanks to my local sponsors, Destination Kona Triathlon Store, Southwest Realty and Property Management, DC Ranch Village Health Club and Spa and my club, One Multisport!  

Race #1
Had a great time at IRONCARE SPLASH & DASH by 4 PEAKS RACING. It was good to test my speed again. I'm always surprised that after many Ironman, a 40 min race can still wear me out! It was a great turnout! Looking forward to the next one!


Everything is set up in the transition zone.
XTERRA Wetsuits speedsuits are the best choice for a warmer race like this!

Zoot Ultra Race 4.0 are the ultimate racing shoes. Very light & comfortable!

Race #2
Another great Splash and Dash by 4 PEAKS RACING. 2000m open water swim went smooth, 5k run was short... and fast as always. It was good to see everyone out there! I finished the Saturday morning with a 50 mile ride and saw lots of cyclists on the Beeline! Hope everyone had a great training or just a fun day!


Hanging out with good friend, Joe Courtney from Sonic Fitness!
First place overall!
Looking forward to the next one in May 1st!
