“I have been doing triathlons since I was nine and I plan on completing a full Iron Man and maybe one day in the Olympics,” said triathlon participant Trevor Mullins. “This is my 23rd or 25th race and there is no slowing down. I like competing in the triathlon as part of a family and having everyone here, and everyone cheering you on.
“When I say family I mean every other person that crossed the finish line and all of the people supporting and cheering.”
Awards were handed out to:
Top male overall, Ethan Connor.
Top female overall, Capt. Aubrie Frazier, 17th Medical Support Squadron pharmacy element chief.
Top military male, 2nd Lt. Sam Bessinger, 315th Training Squadron student.
Top military female, Capt. Katherine Ward, 315th TRS 14N Instructor.
The 315th TRS won the top squadron award.
For individuals looking for more events like the triathlon, the 17th FSS will be scheduling more events in the coming months.
“Our next big run will be in October and that will be the Zombie Run which will be open to individuals who have base access,” said Widick. “There will also be a Team Cohesion Challenge, also called Go Ruck, in September and information for that will be placed on the FSS website.”
