Tri the Herd
Take on Santa Cruz By Leslie Lowe, Resident since 2012
L
ast month, members of the local triathlon club, The Herd, competed in a half- Iron Man race in Santa Cruz. What is an Iron Man? It is a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, and finished off with a 26.2 mile run. A half-Iron Man is exactly that - half those distances. These fun-loving guys transport their gear in a beer-tapped bike trailer. Check out their website www. tritheherd.com to witness the intensity and the fun that comes with this lifestyle. The Herd lives by their tagline, “we party hardest than the rest”.
The Herd met up with another familiar Iron Man: Danville Police Chief Allan Shields stands with Andrew Lowe, Bryce Bochenek, and Joe Castillo. Andrew Lowe competes during the bike race portion of this half-tri.
Juan “Juancho” Beltran, Andrew “Destroyer” Lowe, Joe “el Presidente” Castillo, Stan “the Shepherd” Bochenek, Bryce “Cookies” Bochenek, Marcus “the Brewer” Maita, and Chad “the Analyzer” Smith: all known as “The Herd” 18
