Tri-Smore a success!

The fourth annual Tri-Smore triathlon wrapped up this past weekend and it was another successful event considering the cooler temperatures. 

“It went well as we could have hope for it to have gone. The only thing that we could have improved is the weather,” said Nikola Johnson, one of the organizers for the event.  

Considering the weather, the triathlon attracted 407 of a 443 that were registered, but the youth participation increased. 

“The one thing that stood out for me this year is the younger participants that we had in the 18 and under category was around 250,” said Johnson.  

The younger contestants that are competing are progressing up into the longer races. 

“Our little guys who are starting in the two bites are moving up into the quarters and halves, and our goal is to provide fun opportunities for families and youth,” said Johnson. 

There will be special new additions to the race for the fifth annual race next year with the possibility of expanding to Olympic tracks.

“There is rumors that we might add a mega-smore, the Olympic distance twice, as long as the full smore,” said Johnson.  

The route will be in the works this fall for the special anniversary 2015 event.
