Lynx Triathlon Team makes thier debut in Sharon MA! Yup, you read it right, Triathlon Team.
This was supposed to be just for fun, and it was a blast. Max Performance did a super job with this race, we will definitely do this one again. The goal was to make it out alive and hopefully have everyone finish, but Devin, Kristen, Eliza, and Jill apparently had bigger plans. Devin and Kristen finished 1 & 2 in the under 20 female group and the relay team of Jill and Eliza came in a close second for all relay teams, while using only two athletes instead of three. Results
