Team Saunders Tri

On this National Mascot Day, we can’t help but celebrate with Chip! What a treat to hang with this cool dude at IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder over the weekend. Sko Buffs! 🦬

That has us wondering… if TST had a mascot, what would it be? We want to hear your ideas in the comments 👇🏽

This weekend in Boulder, we spent a lot of time talking with athletes. Genuine, fulfilling, authentic conversations.

Some were racing their first triathlon.

Some were chasing World Championship slots.

Others were somewhere in between.

These conversations all had the same theme:

Community. Belonging. Connection.

The more athletes we meet, the more convinced we become that triathlon doesn’t need more gatekeepers of knowledge or making you pay-to-belong.

It needs more people willing to extend a helping hand and say:

“You’re welcome here.”

That’s the kind of community we’re trying to build.

This is how Medal Monday makes us feel! 💪🏽

It was one of the best weekends of triathlon for our little team - even if everything didn’t go according to plan.

The friendships, the connections, the adrenaline, the scenery!

Boulder has our heart and we’re proud to be going home with memories, medals, and some fun new hardware.

Enjoy a few of our favorite TST snaps from race day.

And how about that pose from Tif in the swim? In hindsight, if she had known it was going to be such a demanding swim, she might have saved some of that energy for fighting the whitecaps. 😆

Wow! IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder… ❤️💙💛

It was A. DAY. for Team Saunders Tri! 🧡🌈

A spot on the podium for our relay team…and a trip to the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship for Colin!

Proud of all we accomplished and so much more to say about the day soon.

Thanks to everyone for the love, texts, messages, shout outs. The support. The community. Truly the reason we love this sport.

Congratulations to everyone who endured all the challenges today.

Ironman 70.3 Boulder: Team Saunders Tri, Bib 4032, is racked and ready! Relay on tap for Tif-Syd-Cait… and Colin is tackling all of the course and the altitude solo.

We wouldn’t be the team we are without Super Sherpa Katy giving us all the good vibes and support all weekend long.

Looking forward to sharing the course and the orange energy with everyone tomorrow.
