On March 20th, the Dhaka Triathlon Club hosted the St. Patty's Day 5K. For an event that was organized in just a few days - based on demand from club members - there were nearly 30 participants, which is a good turnout.
While the overall race times were better compared to runners previous race paces (8K Turkey Trot and Halloween 5K), Greg ("Red") and Amy ("Fern"), out local dynamic duo, were the male and female first place finishers. It is worth noting that Fern was just a few seconds behind Red and looks to be on a trajectory to take be the overall winner in the next event.
We'd like to thank all the runner and walker participants for coming out and congratulate them on finishing. We also extend our appreciationt to JR for volunteering his time and helping make it a safe and fun event for everyone. BTW, the large arrows he used to mark the course are still there in case anyone would like to host a 5K, 7.5K, or 10K this weekend.
Regarding the next event, please email us if you have any suggestion on possible dates, distance, format, etc. and would like to volunteer to organize/support.
Since we are the Dhaka Triathlon Club, we are very keen to organize a sprint distance tri (swim: 400m, bike: 10k, run: 5k) very soon before it gets too hot. Please email us if you're interested in participating (individually or relay) or would be willing to volunteer as a signup, bike safety checker, lap counter, timer, etc. Also, it was mentioned that not everyone interested in doing a sprint have a bike. If this is the case, I'm sure that we could help arrange loaners for people.
