This past Saturday, April 18th, sixteen members of Memphis Thunder Racing competed at the inaugural running of the XTERRA Memphis triathlon at Shelby Farms. The race consisted of a 1-mile swim, a 20-mile mountain bike and a 6-mile trail run.
After several hours of rain throughout the early morning, the skies parted and the sun came up just about race start time. Unfortunately, the damage had been done, and the participants of XTERRA Memphis had some really challenging conditions to look forward to on the course!
In addition to the eight individuals that competed, Memphis Thunder Racing also had eight additional members who competed on relay teams during the event. These included: Scott Marcom, Leslie Brahm, Joel Dickey, Pete Sully, Trevor Hopper, Bryan Pacey, Sarah Corrigan and Julianne McDaniel.

Congratulations to all the finishers of XTERRA Memphis!
