Duri Tris

Two triathlons were held in the middle of the jungle this weekend.  The kids' triathlon was held on Saturday, followed by an adults' triathlon on Sunday.  There were 15 younger kids who swam 100m, biked 2.5km and ran 800m, and 5 older kids that swam 200m, biked 5km and ran 1500m.  The adult triathlon was 500m swimming, 22km biking and 6km of running, and it was dominated by relay teams.  There were 50 relay teams, predominately 3 people per team (one person per event) and 37 individuals that participated.  Andy coordinated both events and they were a great success!
