One June 25, Justin, Kelly, Scott, and Tom made the not-so-long trip to Minneapolis to compete in a home town triathlon event consisting of an 8k paddle, 5k run, and 13k mountain bike. The crew joined a lot of other Minnesota Orienteering Club folks for the event, which gives the race a great community feel. Below are some shots that WEDALI teammate Molly Moilanen took at the event.

The Tri-loppet was another successful off-road event and our crew pushed it hard for some top spots. Justin, Scott, and Tom took 4th, 16th, and 43rd in the Men's division, respectively. Kelly won the day with a 3rd place podium finish for the women. This is an event that our crew will definitely have on the calendar again next year!
