WHAT. A. WEEKEND. 🏊🚴🏃
A record number of young athletes joined us for Friday night’s Splash & Dash, followed by a record number of registered athletes for TRI Clear Lake on Saturday!
And, it takes a whole lot of (flexible) people to make a race like this happen. 🩵🩶🧡
Here come the thank yous (in no particular order).
To our volunteers who showed up, shifted schedules, changed assignments and rolled with every adjustment, THANK YOU.
To law enforcement, Emergency Management, fire departments and first responders who helped us navigate a challenging morning (stupid Mother Nature) and kept our athletes and community safe, SO MUCH GRATITUDE.
To our TRI Clear Lake Committee who spent months planning (and then had to adjust those plans😅), YOU'RE THE BEST!
To our sponsors and community partners who make this event possible year after year, WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
And to the Clear Lake community. thank you for your patience with road closures, delays and a race schedule that looked a little different than planned. And an extra thank you to everyone who came out to cheer, ring cowbells, and make our athletes feel welcome!
Finally, to our athletes and families who traveled from near and far. Thank you for trusting us, being flexible, and bringing an incredible attitude to race weekend.
We are so grateful we got to SWIM, BIKE, and RUN together in Clear Lake.
Can't wait to see you next year!
