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.
The 2009 event was a tremendous success with fantastic weather, a calm and warm Gulf of Mexico and an after-race party that was over the top thanks to our great sponsor Carrabbas. Over 800 triathletes registered and 736 actually ran and finished the event led by our Champions, Olympic Team Member Brian Fleischmann and World Champion Amy Kloner. After the race was over and the sand had settled, we were able to contribute nearly $8000 to area causes. We expect an even larger field and an enhanced event this year. Check out our Press Section for some more stories about the 14th SRITRI.
Carrabbas will again provide their special food for the post-race party that you will not want to miss. The past two years Carrabbas has generously provided an outstanding meal that our triathletes and volunteers couldn’t stop complimenting. The party will also highlight sandwiches from Subway and other refreshments including Bud Light along with music, white sands and the Gulf of Mexico in the background. You won’t want to miss the fantastic celebration. Tickets will be available for family and friends.

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.
