THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (APRIL 17-23)! What an inspiring day it was at the Tri for the Y indoor triathlon honoring Brian Kozera this past Sunday! There were over 50 athletes including about half adults and half kids. The day included first time triathletes including Sarah Barkley's mom, Rebecca as well as an incredible young man named Luke who we'll discuss more about in a separate post. In addition to that, Keith Ho was back in action completing the swim leg of a relay with Katie Ho and Don Mack! And besides all of the athletes competing, we had many Gators volunteering including Kristin Kozera with Josie and Avery! And thanks to the Y staff including Jen Pearson-Ka, Kaitlyn Smith, and Katie Koch for all of their support in preparing for and executing the event. And none of it would have happened without the leadership of Logan Washburn who put together another fantastic event! Thanks to all for participating!
