Triathlon draws Schriever’s strongest

Schriever athletes showed up in force for the Schriever Triathlon Aug. 2, as more than 60 competitors swam 400 meters, biked 12 miles and ran 3.1 miles in the three-stage event.

Dan Bar claimed the overall title, finishing in 1 hour, 10 minutes, 30 seconds. But Bar had more than one cause for celebration at the end of the day as his wife Clare Bar was the first female across the finish line in 1:20:43.

Race organizer, Seth Cannello, Schriever sports and fitness manager, normally caps participation at 40 racers, but agreed to expand the field for this year’s event after Lt. Col. Clif Stargardt from the 379th Space Range Squadron asked if he could enroll six three-person teams in the event.
