Eight members of Team Infinitri participated in the St. Croix 70.3 Triathlon on May 4th in Christainstaad, St. Croix.  The St. Croix course is one of the more difficult courses in on the 70.3 Series, combining punishing hills (including the Beast - a 3/4 mile hill climb with sections that exceed 20% grade) with seering heat, oppressive humidity and a relentless wind.  The conditions further mocked the athletes by providing rain on the bike course (with the hardest rain occurring just as many of the riders began their ascent of the Beast) and a cloudless blue sky (with 90 degree temps) just in time for the shadeless mid-day 13.1 mile run through the golf course.  All eight members of the team managed to complete the race despite a number of race day maladies and mishaps that further added to the complexity of the event.  The team was ably supported by Robin Nadeau and Julie Bilgor both of whom provided crucial race day support and encouragement to all of the athletes.
