So Cal Skaters (SCS) • The official resource for skating in Southern California

Tinsel Triathlon, Hemet, CA 12/12/10
The Tinsel Triathlon held in Hemet, CA was gracious enough to include skaters in it's 2009 event. With the success of that, we were invited back this year.

The event was set up in collaboration with SCS to spread the word and was spearheaded by our own Peggy Girgenti of Luigino racing.

The route was just shy of a half marathon and held out in the Inland Empire in the shadow of the surrounding high desert mountains. The weather cooperated and surprised us with temps in the 70's by race finish. This was just awesome for December in California and what makes skating in the state amazing.

This year's race was very successful. I am excited to report that we managed to double our participation from last year. A huge thanks goes out to the race organizers, whom at the conclusion of the event informed us that we will be officially part of the 2011 Tinsel Triathlon. No more exhibition event. It's playtime now. Yay!!! for another skating event.

Congratulations to this year's men's winner Joey Dalton, 33 and the women's winner Ananda Joliff, 20.
