Fall is here, leaves are falling, holiday lights are up, turkeys roasting, Christmas music playing…..EVERYWHERE…….and big sexy racers are closing out the season in style!
There have been many great racing performances this month, but what’s better then racing is seeing this team step up to bat for their fellowmen. This month has been a season of giving and gratitude from this team to so many people being effected by disasters great and small. Team members, in the middle of training, have given of themselves to help a fellow teammate, friend or stranger; both on the race course and off. We’ve seen BSR members volunteering for cleanup in California and helping others across the country. This is a team of more then just triathletes, but wonderful people.
As we enter the end of race season be grateful for all that you have. For the strong healthy body that allows us to race. For the blessing of friends and family. And for the pure joy of being alive!
Here are our wonderful athletes doing what they do and loving it!!!
We had some stealth racers the first part of November: almost 3 times the number of racers we were expecting! Love it 😍

My favorite race of all is Ironman Cozumel, it was my first, I had no idea so many other races took place the same weekend like Ironman Arizona! So thrilled to see the BSR well represented at these races and all over the globe!!
Then, of course, we had the Turkey Totters!! This is a great tradition across the country. Some of the races were more fun runs and weren’t timed, some may not have even been official, just a group of friends getting together. I love it!!!
