This is Christian's TriUtah Brineman 70.3 race update...She was a recipient of the Stan Davis Legacy Award! Congratulations Christian on coming back from your accident and doing this tough race.

I started the race really nervous (because I didn’t get enough long training days in ). But I kept reminding myself :”I can endure”. The swim started well, the water was great but I wasn’t moving very fast. Just took my time and tried to relax. The second lap was a lot more choppy with all the athletes but it went pretty quick.

I got onto the bike and felt amazing the first 8 miles (the flat portion). Once I got going on the hills I was debating hopping off my bike and just walking 😆 (jk). My lack of training was very evident on this part of the course. But I just kept drinking and eating and trying to find a comfortable pace. Once I got to the turnaround point I was filled with so much adrenaline. I knew where we came from and I knew I could push a little harder coming back. The next hour went by so fast (averaging 20 mph). When I got back to T2 and started running I could feel that my legs had nothing. I started to walk about 5 min into the run to take a 1 min break trying to see if I could just get my heart rate down. I did this twice. Every step felt awful.

This was when I wanted to end my day the most. This feeling lingered for 4-5 miles But I kept taking my gels and water and hoping my body would start to cooperate. Eventually the carbs and sugar kicked in and I didn’t feel so depleted. It was very hot but I felt like I could get to the next aid station running. I did this until the end (walking through aid stations ) but keeping a slow run till the end.

Good training leads to great feeling races - and I didn’t have amazing training so it was too much to expect much from my body on race day. And that’s ok! It’s still wild to think of the major accident I was in at the beginning of the year! It feels like eons ago in some ways! I’m so grateful for a healthy body that is capable to do all the fun things my heart desires💕🎊🎉!

BRINEMAN Duathlon

This is Tim’s race report from his Duathlon at the TriUtah Brineman race.

Tim is a Stan Davis Legacy Award recipient. It’s definitely worth taking the time to read.

First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for selecting me as the recipient of the Stan Davis Legacy Award. It was an absolute honor to represent Stan out there on the course, and receiving this recognition made an already unforgettable day even more meaningful.

Completing the Brineman 2026 taught me so much about multi=sport events in a single race. As my very first duathlon, I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly, so I arrived at the venue early. Getting to start with plenty of time allowed me to set up without rushing, soak in the pre-race energy, and chat with fellow athletes. I remember saying hello to a group of ladies dressed in matching kits who were incredibly friendly. As it turned out, they were actually my teammates! A great way to start the day.

When we lined up at the start, there were five of us Duathletes ready to go. The horn sounded, and we were off. I looked down for just a second to clip into my pedal, and by the time I looked back up, the rest of the pack was gone—already at least 100 yards down the road. My competitive instincts screamed at me to chase them down, but I immediately reined myself in. I told myself, “Don't do it. You have a plan. Stick to it. Get to your target heart rate and maintain.”

Holding back was to do. As the miles ticked by and other athletes passed me, I found myself holding silent conversations in my head, thinking, “I have to maintain my heart rate,” or stubbornly, “You wouldn’t have passed me 20 or 30 years ago!” I am intensely competitive in everything I do, so letting people go took real discipline. But as the race progressed, I realized something beautiful: no one was trying to beat me down. Instead, every person who passed offered words of encouragement, calling out, “Good job!” and “Keep it up!” I kept internalizing that support, repeating my mantra: “This is your race. Stick to the plan.”

The bike leg wasn't without its dramatic moments. I learned a very practical lesson the hard way: never try to slide your water bottle back into its cage while navigating a turn, especially when the road is lined with loose gravel! I came incredibly close to wiping out, but thankfully, I saved it and just had to laugh at myself. As I approached Transition 2, I saw crowds of spectators lining the street, cheering loudly for their athletes. My internal dialogue shifted to pure survival mode: Slow down. Do not embarrass yourself. Remember to unclip and make sure to swing that leg high enough to clear the saddle and the rear water bottle. I wanted to look like a seasoned pro, and luckily, I managed a perfectly smooth, incident-free dismount.

The final run course was fantastic, and seeing the finish line architecture in the distance was a truly welcome sight. Overall, I couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. I crossed the line well under my goal time, and most importantly, I executed my own race strategy.

Crossing that finish line didn't just mark the end of a great race; it sparked a brand-new fire. This experience completely solidified my desire to compete in more duathlons in the future. Even more surprising, it has left me with a strong desire to get into the water, improve my swimming, and see what I can accomplish next.

I've always been fiercely competitive. But after completing 13 Ragnar Relays, 15 half marathons, and 4 full marathons, this race cemented a deeper truth for me. It really doesn’t matter what place you finish on the leaderboard. What matters is how you run your own race, stay true to your plan, and celebrate the fact that you competed to push your limits—values that I know Stan championed throughout his life.

Thank you so much again, I look forward to seeing you on the course!

I wanted to share this again. ❤️

Thank you, Dan Aamodt with TriUtah, for giving Stan this special award. I love what you wrote about him, and I especially love that you recognized Marti too.

Everything Stan did, Marti did too. They were a team in so many ways, and she was right there beside him through it all.

Christian has been working so hard after her accident, and we couldn’t be more proud of her for showing up and taking on the TriUtah Brineman Triathlon next month! 💪🏼❤️

She’s tackling the 70.3, while we’ll be taking on the sprint distance. We can’t wait to watch her cross that finish line!

Go Christian!!! 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🔥

Here's a glimpse into Mikaela's application:

Endurance racing has become one of the most meaningful ways I challenge myself, both physically and mentally. Training gives me purpose, discipline, and something to work toward, even on the days when motivation is hard to find.

My first race was a marathon in 2023, and while crossing the finish line was rewarding, the real challenge was the months of preparation that came before it. Training through an injury, attending physical therapy, and staying committed taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of trusting the process.

Now I'm taking on an even bigger challenge, my first triathlon. With little experience in swimming or cycling, I'm stepping far outside my comfort zone while rebuilding my running. Reaching the starting line will represent months of hard work, consistency, and believing in myself. I hope to continue pursuing endurance events that challenge me, help me grow, and remind me that I'm capable of more than I once thought possible.

Mikaela will be competing in the TriUtah East Canyon Triathlon this weekend. This was also Stan's first open water triathlon many years ago. Good luck Mikaela!

Congratulations Eric on finishing the TriUtah Echo Triathlon!

Here is his race report.

This was my first ever triathlon, and I was so excited for the opportunity to participate.

The swim was definitely the hardest part for me since I don't have much of a swimming background, and open water was a challenge all on its own. There were definitely moments where I had to stay calm and keep pushing, but making it out of the water felt like a huge accomplishment.

Once I got on the bike and started the run, I felt right at home. I was able to pass a lot of people and really enjoyed those parts of the race. It was also incredible to experience the race atmosphere and be surrounded by so many encouraging athletes, especially getting to race alongside my friends who all did an amazing job.

I'm incredibly grateful to the Stan Davis Legacy for giving me this opportunity. This race challenged me, gave me confidence, and left me excited to continue my triathlon journey.

Congratulations to Jennifer one of our Stan Davis Legacy Award winners who completed her first triathlon today. She did the TriUtah Jordanelle Olympic distance and we couldn't be more proud. Read her comments below.

Completed my first triathlon today — Olympic distance with insane elevation! 🏊🚴🏃

The race was set in 6,162 elevation. The swim was 0.93 miles in open water with current and wind, and I'm pretty sure we ended up swimming over a mile. Then came a 25-mile bike ride with plenty of hills (+1,360 ft elevation), followed by a hilly 10K run (+400 ft elevation).

Overall, it was an awesome experience. I had a lot of fun, but my body is definitely feeling it right now. This race also reminded me that I probably didn't train as well as I thought I did. 😂
