XTERRA Blackwater Triathlon - 2015

XTERRA Blackwater - August 2nd, 2015

So if you're going to ask me if I competed in this event, then the answer is no I did not =) I went out to this event to support my brother Fermin Banawa and his friend Jeremy Cooper. It was their first-ever triathlon event, and I was just as excited to watch them, well...I think they were a lot more nervous than excited, well....nervous-excited, you know what I mean ha ha.

This Xterra Blackwater Triathlon was a National Qualifying XTERRA XPS race which included a 800 yard swim, 13 mile mountain bike, and a 3.75 mile trail run. The event was hosted and organized by Soml Racing, a local group in Pensacola, Fl dedicated to promote fitness, highlight athletic and volunteer achievements, and to encourage espirit de corps among rescue swimmers, their families, and their friends.

The location was set at the Blackwater River State Forest, hence the name "Xterra Blackwater" a place that I am very familiar with,  I frequented Blackwater Park Bear Lake with my family growing up. Lots of canoeing memories =)
