Socorro Chile Harvest Triathlon

What a day for racing! It is safe to say that the triathlon went quite well and was nearly perfect. As you should know by now, the run was about .2 miles short, but who cares!?

Read below for eveyone's splits (swim/T1/bike/T2/run/total) and you can see complete results HERE.
