Triathlon National Championships 2011
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 3:45PM This year we were lucky to have the US National Triathlong Championships right here in Burlington, Vermont. Many athletes from around the country visited Vermont for the weekend to compete. Many talented athletes out there, most competing with smiles! Great job athletes, we will see you again next year!
Local triathlete on the last leg of the race, still looking very strong.
Local star, Danika Frisbie looking strong at the start of the run. Danika is also on the US National Biathlon team, an amazing runner and skier.
Crushing the last hill and leaving people in the dust!
Vermont's famous Angie Defilippi, our local Ironman Athlete killing it at Nationals this year. She makes it look easy!
One of the official photographers of the even having a little fun with the event. He shot photos and cheered the athletes up the toughest part of the course...a big nasty climb right after the bike transition. Athletes must have felt some jello legs up this climb.
Racing for Green Mountain Rehab, another local Vermonter flying up the hill!
Photographer, John Sappo posted up on the course to snap the runners, many smiled and gave him a thumbs up!
And these days are the tough ones, the ones we dread as athletes. The days where it just won't click, but I guess you win some and you lose some, if we never had a bad day we would never be able to appreciate the good ones. You look young girl, you have a long road of success ahead of you!
