Support Bruce Rosell’s Road to Recovery

We are reaching out today on behalf of a cherished member of our triathlon community, Bruce Rosell. Many of you may know Bruce from his outstanding performances in our North Carolina Tri Series events. Last year, Bruce placed 2nd in the 35-39 age group, and we celebrated him on Father’s Day with a heartwarming picture of him and his daughter, Riley.

Bruce is more than just an exceptional athlete; he is a dedicated husband, father, and friend. On June 10th, while training for Ironman 70.3 Pennsylvania, Bruce was struck head-on by a car in a hit-and-run accident. He has been in the neuro ICU, sedated and intubated, since the incident, and faces a long and challenging road to recovery.

To support Bruce and his family during this difficult time, his friends and family have started a GoFundMe campaign. We ask our incredible triathlon community to rally behind Bruce as he embarks on this new journey of endurance. Your prayers and any contributions to assist Bruce, his wife Brittany, and their two young children, Riley (5) and Stuart (2), would mean the world to them.

Let's come together and show the strength and support of our community.

Donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/awkkry-support-bruces-road-to-recovery

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Get ready for one of the granddaddies of mid-Atlantic triathlons – the Triangle Triathlon in suburban Raleigh! 🌟 One of the oldest in the Triangle region, this race has journeyed through various lakes, now calling Shearon Harris Lake home. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃 Originally held at Lake Wheeler, it's moved through Lake Lochmere, Lake Crabtree, and now Harris County Park.

One of the few races in the country with a totally closed bike course, participants need to appreciate this phenomenon as closed bike courses are very rare. 🚴‍♂️💨 Plus, the race venue at Harris County Park is one of the prettiest, featuring a huge playground for kids just yards from the finish line. 🏞️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Say goodbye to sweltering mid-July runs – the race now takes place on a cooler Saturday, June 1st. Novices, explore the "mini" triathlon with shorter distances than the standard Sprint. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃

Don't forget, this race is part of the NC Tri Series, so points count towards the series awards. 🏆 Ready to dive in? Sign up here: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/NewHill/TriangleSprintTriathlon 📋👟
