Home town celebration as Joe D. (L) and Dave Slavinski go wire to wire at The 2008 Treasure Island Sprint Triathlon in Point Pleasant **********************************************
The familiar 3 pylons of River Road beach, where the Treasure Island Sprint takes place on The Manasquan River, greet many new faces at the JSTC each summer The Treasure Island Sprint is a JSTC favorite because it's local, fun, and some of us have been racing here since the very beginning when RD Dave Johnson started it as just kayak-bike-run.
Early May swims signal the start each year of triathlon season But the addition of swim has helped evolve this race into a celebration. For, the JSTC has taught its' share of new members how to open water swim right here on the beach of River Road where the race begins. The "River" is a place where things have unfolded for our membership....Terror, and eventual comfort often the case! We enjoy long calm morning swims and quick late afternoon dips with thunderstorms closing fast from the west.
The Manasquan River's gravel shoreline is a welcome feeling on the feet at the Treasure Island Sprint Clean and cold 58 degree water in May contrast July's murky water and River Road beach closings. This annual event reflecting the strain our society places on the fragile eco-system, as earth's tidal cleansings can no longer keep up with dirty storm discharge and fertilized runoff. September and Treasure Island bring the triathlon season to an end for most of us. And it simply seems appropriate to end where it all began for so many JSTC members....The beautiful Manasquan River.
Kevin, Joe, Craig, Scott, Dan, Bill, CW, Dave, Bruce, Denise, Tim, Carrie, and Jon get ready to swim in the Manasquan River
Joanne is all smiles
