All ages welcome to join Triathlon Club

The Canyon Lake Triathlon Club held a Super Sprint Reverse Triathlon in Canyon Lake on Sunday, April 24, with the transition area opening at the Lodge at 6:15 a.m. The event started at 7 with a 1.5-mile run, followed by a 6-mile bike ride to the East Gate and back. Participants then rinsed off and completed three laps (six lengths) in the pool.

Among those competing in this event were three generations of the Leone/Wesolowski family pictured here: grandpa George Leone, mother Becky Leone Wesolowski and the youngest competitor, 8-year-old Izabella Wesolowski.
