TEAM JFT2 at ISSAQUAH!!!
Wow! What a showing from Team JFT2 at the Issaquah Sprint Triathlon, Saturday, May 2. There were fourteen adults and two kids in the race, and each and every team member had a solid performance. All of the photos are up on Jill's Spaces site.
Athletes, please feel free to send in your race reports; we can add photos if you don't have any. Thanks already to Michael for this great report, and to David as well, and most recently to Adam. Below are a few of the photos from this exciting day.
And the results are in! We had five team members competing in their very first sprint triathlon in this event (way to go Shawn, Jess, Jason Char and Shannon). For Shawn and Jess, it was their first triathlon, ever. Below is the data on all of our athletes. Also, be sure to check out this page for Team Triumph, one of our sponsors. Jill is proud to be racing for this team this season. Congratulations on a great performance!

Post-race meal at Julia's.

Jill's Team Triumph teammates had a great showing, placing 1st, 3rd and 5th overall! Pictured left to right are Tracy Orcutt, Simone Van Rheenen and Lisa Walker.

"I'm just going to go out with my age group... I don't want to be rushed. What? No? I have to go out with elite wave?"

Char sprints to the finish!

David Treadwell (running on the right) was among the top male finishers. Check out his race report link, above.

Shannon looks pretty happy with that new bike!

Michael is finishing strong, and he also has a great race report.

Shawn, heading out on the bike in his first triathlon!

Steve, exiting T1 in good shape!
Mark, zipping through transition.

Jess's first tri as well! Being cheered on by her friend and teammate Didi and family. That's Jason Cowan on the bike, getting ready for the kids' tri.

War stories.

Jason is bringin' it to the line.


Stephen was about 6th out of the water, but with a super fast T1, he headed out second on the bike. He then took the lead, but was lead off the course in the first loop.

After fighting his way back into third position on the bike, Stephen took off after another Team JFT2 kid, Jason Cowan.

Jason finishes with a strong run for a solid 2nd place finish. Stephen can be seen behind.

... not much left in the tank at this point. Great race to all of the Team JFT2 athletes!
