Roughly 200 hearty triathletes were undeterred by the early-morning chill last Sunday as they dove into the water at the start of the fourth annual Capt. Hiram’s River Challenge to “Get off your ass and save some seagrass.”
A quick towel-off after the quarter-mile swim and participants were on to the next two phases of the event, a 12-mile bike ride and 5K run along Indian River Drive.
Event proceeds benefited the Coastal Conservation Association, Environmental Learning Center and Ocean Research and Conservation Association in their efforts to safeguard our ecologically diverse Indian River Lagoon.
