Chattanoooga Waterfront Tri Recap

 Written by : Seth Ruhling

When we think of the Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon, we often think of two things: 1. The heat.  2. Local Race (AKA: Time to show off what we can do). Number one did not disappoint, it was a brutally hot and humid day making for tough racing conditions.  However, the latter point makes the first seem like a minor detail.  And, it was proven by the athlete turnout: 1,000+ competitors.
had a strong contingent of athletes competing on Sunday as well.  Some athletes were using this as a litmus test with bigger goals of Ironmans and 70.3s approaching in the next few months, while others were eying this as a key race of the season.   Each athlete did an incredible job fighting the heat and making the FX family proud.  Congrats to all!
