On a gorgeous late summer morning our stalwart crew took on an sprint triathlon in Shelburne, VT. In the calm before Irene’s storm the team churned up the course, racing to four top-ten finishes! Coach Beckwith took some dynamite photographs of all of our racers. As usual, we were joined by other racers, including David Sinclair, and Kristen, Diane, and Andreas Halvorsen. Great job everyone!
