MEET YOUR TEAMMATES
Team Javelin is a remarkable group of athletes. Members of Team Javelin represent 46 of the United States, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, Brazil, Canada, France, Guatamala, and the United Kingdom. (If we have missed your country, please send an email to team@javelintriathlonteam.com and let us know. You probably were not able to get your entire address into your application and we’d like to fix this clerical error.)
Team members, themselves, are as varied as their geography. Members include a past winner of Race Across America, several firemen, current or past members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, a dad participating in his son’s memory, an individual whose greatest accomplishment is donating a kidney (!), individuals new to the sport of triathlon, as well as others who can claim multiple ironman finishes. All members, though, have many things in common, not the least of which is a desire for an active and healthy lifestyle.
The response to Team Javelin has been tremendous. Applications for Team Javelin continue to come in and are reviewed periodically. We will update you from time to time on the composition of the team and provide you with some detail on select individuals.
