One of our favorite courses for a sprint distance triathlon! The swim across Lake Andrea starts with a beach start and is straight across (no rounding the buoys!). The bike ride (flat terrain, except for one overpass) through farmlands is always fun because locals sit out on their front porches and cheer on the triathletes. Race Distance: Swim - 1/2 mile, Bike - 12.4 miles, Run - 3.1 miles. It’s a big event (last year, it was the biggest in the series) but a memorable and fun one.
In its 19th consecutive year, the Danskin Women's Triathlon Series remains the longest running multi-sports Series in the world.

After topping the last hill, I saw the finish chute, and my teammates all lined up along the way. I ran all the way down and gave everyone of them a high five as I ran to the finish. It was the best feeling. I can't wait to do another team with my teammates again.
