Not an official review, but I managed some info on this first triathlon at USAFA. With over 130 finishers, there was a good turnout for an innaugural, late Colorado triathlon season race. This sprint triathlon (swim 750 meters, Bike 14.69 miles, Run 3.1 miles) offered an indoor serpentine swim, a challenging course, and of course the beauty of the Air Force Acadamy campus.

Celeste of The Good News Blog posted about the race and her performance. She references a difficult course “… I think they made it a point to make this a very challenging course… and they put a killer hill in the 5K, oh yeah, and they made you run on soft trails, I felt like I was running in quicksand.”

The inspiration for the event was provided by Lindsay Brown, a Cadet and intercollegiate swimmer who was killed in an auto accident. Just prior to her death she had written a note: “It’s time to get out of my seat and get going!“

    Thanks – I made the correction. I didn’t mean to cut your swim short 250M! ;-)
