On Saturday we had a bunch of athletes compete in the Brittania Park Triathlon. Unfortunately, at the last second, the wind picked up making the waves really high and the water unsafe. Many of our crew made the right decision to turn back to shore and then help the water safety crew point out swimmers in distress. A great reminder that in races, you are responsible for your own safety and if you feel like you're in an unsafe place listen to that voice in your head! The Olympic Distance swim was cancelled altogether.
Congrats to everyone for making the right decisions and doing their best out there!
