Dam 09 Triathlon

For me August 2019 was a time to celebrate. My family and I celebrated an early detection of testicular cancer, a successful surgery, a steady recovery, and 37 years of life! On an early Saturday morning I rode my bike down to the Alamo Heights pool, set up my gear, and anxiously awaited the gun to go off marking the start of my first triathlon.

The Dam 09 is a great entry level triathlon. It features a 400 meter swim, 9 mile bike ride, and a 4K run. After the event last year I was hooked! Knowing that COVID19 has changed the plans for most events I wasn’t sure that the Dam 09 would be on for this summer. My heart skipped when I found out last Friday through an email that the Dam 09 2020 is a go!

Here is the best part; I have convinced a few of my buddies to join in with me! These guys energize and fuel me! I pray that I do the same for them. While triathlons may not be your thing this year, I challenge you to find something that gets you moving. I would also encourage you to invite others to jump in with you. There is power in numbers! There is strength in doing hard things together! Go get it!
