If you want a fun, competitive sprint tri with great swag, cool awards and beer at the finish line, try the Santa Rosa Island sprint tri. This is the second time I have done this race and it didn’t disappoint with rough surf which required us to switch from the ocean to the bay (no jellyfish there!) and a strong headwind on the bike out to the turnaround so that your speed could go from 17 to 27. Finally a nice flat run to the finish line where I was 7th female overall and senior grand masters champ along with our friend Johnny. His wife Lisa also made the podium in her age group. Thanks to my Sherpa Steve for these photos and for cheering us on out there!
