Why You Tri - Tell Us Your Story

We asked our triathletes Why You Tri. Here are some of the inspiring stories. If you have not shared Why You Tri use this form to let us know and we may share your story here or in our newsletter!

Judi (Age 46, Eden Prairie)
I hope that other women like me will challenge and believe in themselves. I know that I will have to find the little spark in myself to run to the finish line. But then and only then will the tears of my success flow and I will again be able to say, I DID IT!

Learn more about Judi and her journey to the Tri!

Caroline (Age 43, Minneapolis)
I've wanted to do a triathlon for a while now. I was an athlete in high school and want to get back to it. This event will be my motivation. The YWCA rocks!

AnnLiv (Age 66, Edina)
I want to show my grand kids that age is relative and that they can be active and older.

Leigh (Age 34, Minneapolis)
I have been doing triathlons for over 10 years, but I am "re-entering" the arena after having 2 kids. I am very excited for an all-women's race in Minnesota and I couldn't help but sign up!

Lisa (Age 45, Minnetrista)
I L-O-V-E the way I feel after I have completed a race!

Toni (Age 54, Minneapolis)
I have run women only races and am very excited to be able to have a tri with women only. I think it is empowering to see a group of women all working to achieve a common goal.
