Athlete of the Month – Oct 2021 – Cary Gentry

Meet Cary!
Cary has been a triathlete FOREVER!! Well, not forever but a long time. He started over 22 years ago with a sprint tri, where he said he was so nervous at the swim and used his old mountain bike. After that race, he was hooked and has been going ever since. A little fact about Cary Gentry, he was our very own Triad Tri Team President a few years back. He brought a lot to this team when he was president and is still giving back to our community. Cary is funny, fast and a meteorologist!! Maybe that is why he is fast as lightening!!

Athlete of the Month – Sept 2021 – Tyler Robakiewicz

Meet Tyler!
Tyler is relatively new to the sport and the team, however, you have probably met him at Fleet Feet where he is the marketing manager and greets everyone with a smile on! He is also usually the first guy you see out of the water and transition at races (he’s that tall guy running really fast who isn’t Royce).
Tyler has been in triathlon for one year, he did run cross country and track for Western Carolina. Tyler says he doesn’t have a favorite triathlon yet, but really likes the Trivium race series because, “Rich and Libby put on the best race series that I’ve participated in.”
Tyler is a great addition to our team, so say hi when you see him!
