The whipping winds and cool temperatures couldn't keep hometown triathletes away from  Civic Center Park for the tenth annual Apple Valley Reverse Triathlon!

A "traditional" triathlon will start with a swim, transition to a bike ride and finish with a run, the Apple Valley Reverse Triathlon however starts with a 5K run, transitions into a 12 mile bike ride and finishes with a 150 yard pool swim. Triathletes of all skill levels; like Kari Thompson, 6 time Ironman competitor and Kathi Roque, first time triathlete, competed for their spot on the podium.  Kids were also treated to a .75 mile run, 1 mile bike run and a 50 yard swim. The cheers from the spectators carried the sound of pride and excitement through the air as the next generation of triathletes crossed the finish line.   To honor the running community of Apple Valley there was also a 5K run for those who wanted to get out and show their hometown pride.
