Board Members Jackie Brown and Jehan Clark Present Check to Dustin Yonke

The Santa Rosa Island Triathlon, a not-for-profit corporation, makes donations annually to worthy causes. During the 15 years of the event we have contributed to many deserving groups and have also given back to the sport of triathlon by donating to training programs and to developing athletes.

In 2011 we are very proud to sponsor Dustin Yonke who is an impressive area triathlete and an outstanding young woman. She has qualified for the World Age Group Championship in Beijing, the USAT National Age Group Championship in Burlington, VT and the 5150 National Championship in Des Moines IA. She has chosen to race in the two championships in the United States and our donation will help with her expenses. We wish to congratulate Dustin on her accomplishments thus far and look forward to following her achievements in the future.

Fleischmann took the lead in the swim and never looked back as Sam Morgan of Atlanta and Niceville’s Derek Oskutis rounded out the podium. Smith held off defending champ Amy Kloner from Albuquerque and Jacksonville’s Jennifer Hanley-Pinto to top the women’s field.

Start Of The 2010 SRITRI

Race Day conditions were superb as the Gulf of Mexico was flat and calm. The gentle current moving from east to west favored the athletes and resulted in a fast swim. Crossing winds cooled the bike and run courses and resulted in mild mid-morning temperatures for the finish of the race. A fantastic post-race party presented by Carrabbas finished off a perfect day.

Results can be found at http://www.eventtiming.com/. We look forward to seeing over 1000 athletes on Pensacola Beach for the 2011 SRITRI.

Special Thanks

This event depends on our fantastic sponsors and volunteers. Without either we would not be able to put on such a great race. Our generous sponsors are listed below and deserve our gratitude.

  • Fleischmann wins again!

    • 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.

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.
