Congratulations to another successful White Rock Half Ironman. A lot of extras thrown in by the Extribe group to celebrate their 5th year running. We arrived late this year just in time for the race briefing wich was simple, compact and complete. Missed out on getting bike pjorn and triathlon talk among those present. The transition duffle bags were super cool with runing caps as well. Melvin and Sonia represented TBB to do bike check and have a small sales booth but customs held up things. More »
