Between Buzzards Bay, the CHaD Hero, welcoming our new members to the team, and a wild triathlon adventure everywhere we look, the fall term has no shortage of excitement for triathletes. We do find time for members new and returning to participate in our annual Team Flair Breakfast, an opportunity to both see campus in the dark hours of the morning and gather as a team to reflect on our goals for the upcoming triathlon season and for life in general. Read some of our members' thoughts below!
