Santa Rosa Island Triathlon
Destination Sprint Triathlon at Pensacola Beach!
Competing against 900 triathletes, Fleishman, a member of the USA triathlon team and former Olympic team alternate, finished the 600-yard swim, 18-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run in 1:06.14. It was his seventh SRITRI victory in 12 appearances.
The primary goal for the SRITRI every year is conduct a safe and fun event for our participants. To this end we intend to have an armada of surfers, kayaks and power craft in the Gulf of Mexico (or Santa Rosa Sound if conditions dictate using that course) for the swim leg. On the bike and run courses we will have more Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputies than recommended along with experienced volunteers and United States Marines. Finally, we will have two ambulances and EMT crews on the course. Our principal priority is safety and our secondary priority is safety. We also want everyone to have a great time, but we want NO injuries.
A website is only as good as it’s graphics and photographs and when Judi Knight of New Tricks set out to redo the SRI TRI site she needed some great photos. She asked everyone she knew and the results were, well, not so good. Then Judi thought about Flickr and Jackpot! There she found the amazing work of Greg Reigler. Greg is a professional photographer, who shoots for PNJ and has some of his SRI TRI photos on-line there. He has a great breadth in his work, but his action shots of the triathletes in the 2005 SRI TRI were really phenomenal. After seeing these pictures we just had to have them.
Luckily for us, Greg agree to let us use his photos on the website and we are grateful. We wanted to use two of his shots, those of the bike and the run, on the site’s header, so we were really glad he gave us permission and we didn’t have to go back to the drawing board. Here are some more photos from the race and then be sure to check him out for Weddings. His beach wedding pictures are beautiful.
Brightroom is the official Race Photographer of the Santa Rosa Island Triathlon and will be taking individual shots of each triathlete. You can go to their site and give them your race number and they will notify you when the pictures are ready.
