Another fun and healthy Steve Braun Triathlon took place on Sunday September 5th. Individuals and relay teams took part from the ‘Wow! how do they do it?’ to the ‘Wow they did it!’ categories and everything in between.

The event went off without accident. It’s a great event , offering serious competition for some and a motivator to get out and exercise for many.

The event is held Labor Day weekend at Cascade Lake every year. Here is a link to the Orcas rec triathlon web page.

Overall individual winner was Jacob VanderPlas. Below are some  photographs from the event.

You can see images of every contestant at the end of each stage taken by Martin Taylor at Edna Gallery’s web site. You can see photographs from the last 5 annual triathlons here.
