2023 a look back
With 60+ triathletes 2023 season was the biggest season for us in Team Asha Triathlon. The team took part in Tri Santa Cruz Sprint and Olympic distance triathlon - we also gave back to the sport by volunteering during the race. Other events we were part of were:
1) Alcatraz swim (20 swimmers) - with Pacific Open Water Swim Co.
2) Bridge to Bridge swim (B2B Swim 10Km) (10 Swimmers) - with Pacific Open Water Swim Co.
3) Donner Lake swim (Team participation)
4) Lake Tahoe swim (Team Participation)
6) Santa Cruz 70.3 (Half Ironman) (23 athletes)
7) Ironman California (Full Ironman) (4 athletes)
23 of us completed the Santa Cruz 70.3 (Half Ironman) and had a great time training and participating. 4 completed the full Ironman in Sacramento and we had 20 folks who swam from Alcatraz to the city and 10 who completed the B2B swim (10Km). All in all it was a fantastic year. We continue to build a strong base of swimmers and triathletes. Many of our past participants have become mentors and are instrumental in inspiring new people into the sport and into a life of fitness.
