Candidate Statement – Scott Gayler
In 2013 I completed my first triathlon. I crossed the finish line to the cheers of my immediate family and a few stragglers. Last year, I found the Seattle Green Lake Triathlon group one week before the Issaquah triathlon. In my first race with this team (after attending one meetup) I learned what a difference […]
Candidate Statement – Eric Fashl
Hi, I’m Eric! I completed my first triathlon in August 2012, having rather little experience in endurance sports. My previous race was a half marathon in 2006 where I almost broke two hours. I started casually road cycling around 2008, where I would occasionally cycle with one of my college friends who was training for […]
Candidate Statement – Elizabeth Kennedy
As an athlete who has participated in triathlon for six years on a very modest income, I have a passion for making the sport more accessible for lower-income athletes. I want to see more Native, African, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander faces in the transition areas and on the race courses, and through a project […]
Race Report: 2015 Ironman 70.3 Puerto Rico – Erich Knaak
Well, that was hard… I got to bed later than I would have liked. I went out to a pre-race sushi dinner with the Sound Training and Racing crew and was in bed around 10:00 instead of the planned 8:00. My usual dinner before a race is pizza but sushi is good for you and […]
Race Report: 2014 Challenge Penticton – Alex Hutko
This was my first ironman. Here’s the condensed race report for triathlon’s 5 disciplines: Swim, bike, run, nutrition, recovery. Swim- My wetsuit never feels right and always constricts lifting my arms so I take off and put back on the upper part twice. Still sucks. Oh well, I’ll manage. The pros go off first […]

Election Statement: Tai Lee
Greetings teammates! Thanks for considering me for a position on the SGLTG leadership team. As I am sure is the case for many of you, this group has become my second family in this last year. Most of you know that I am not a competitive triathlete. For a very short period of time, I […]
Election Statement: Jonathan Nield
Joining the Seattle Green Lake Triathlon Group was an endless source of motivation and inspiration to become a better athlete, but it has become so much more. I found that after joining the group, I wanted more and more to become a better person and that is such a powerful affect for a group […]
