The Boulder Sunset Triathlon BBSC Triathlon really could be labeled an endurance festival. With 1,500 athletes competing in an Olympic and Sprint Distance triathlon, a duathlon and a 5k and 10k run, there was something for everyone. Families with parents racing with their kids were everywhere. Many challenged athletes participated as well. Universities from CO, WY, UT, NM, AZ competed and added to the vibe. If you have raced in Boulder before, the course was familiar and the weather couldn’t have been better. With such a variety of competitors and many first timers on the course, with seasoned veterans, it made the atmosphere fun and unique. This was the 10th anniversary of this race and no doubt will continue to grow and with it’s multi race format, late in the summer will undoubtedly attract endurance athlete of all sorts for years to come.
