Our coaches don’t just talk about competition—they jump right in 🔥

This weekend, two Kraken coaches and one of our athletes competed in a triathlon, proving that the competitive spark is alive and well across our entire team.

We love seeing our coaches lead by example, bringing energy, passion, and a little extra friendly competition to everything they do. Way to GO Smitty, JD and Alice!!!
That Kraken spirit runs deep! 💪🏊‍♂️🚴🏻

Team Kraken showed up in full force at the 2026 Bengal Tri and absolutely brought the energy! 💥 From start to finish, it was a day packed with determination, team spirit, and plenty of personal bests.

So many athletes crushed their goals, pushed past limits, and came away with new PBs to celebrate. But even beyond the times and results, it was all about the fun, the camaraderie, and the unforgettable moments out on the course.

Proud of this crew for showing what it means to race hard and enjoy every second. Kraken doesn’t just compete—we make waves. 🌊
