Who We Are

Team TriAttic is comprised of athletes who are passionate, dedicated, and driven to live the multisport lifestyle primarily in the North Florida Region. Our team includes people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience.

We are focused on spreading awareness of triathlon, one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We do this through clinics, team races and community involvement while helping to grow the TriAttic brand. There are those just entering the world of triathlon and others who have been competing at the top of their age group for years. We are a collection of people who lead by example, always give our best, and are willing to help others.

What We Do

Philanthropy is a driving force behind our team. We aim to make the multisport lifestyle more accessible to everyone. We believe education is the most important step in bringing new athletes to the sport. We help educate by holding clinics throughout the year to teach the basics of triathlon for first timers. Additionally, we participate in local, regional and national races each year to bring awareness to the lifestyle.

Sandy Holt

Age Group: Female, 25-29
City: Tallahassee, FL USA
Year of First Triathlon: 2005

Race Goals:
2013 is the year for testing the limits. My goal for this season is to push my body to new limits in both speed and endurance. Breaking the 11 hours barrier at Ironman and qualifying for the Ironman World Championships would sure make 2013 extra special. As always I try to do this all with a smile on my face and being thankful and grateful that I was given the abilities to do this sport.

Personal Racing Highlights:
My personal favorite highlight was finishing my first Ironman in 2009. Hearing your name being called and “You are an Ironman” are words that I will never forget!

What Inspires Me:
Over the years I have drawn more inspiration from my fellow competitors and friends. Seeing others accomplish goals, make sacrifices, and push themselves beyond what they thought possible are a few of the examples that get me moving. In the sport of triathlon, Ironman specifically it takes a lot of mental strength and toughness to make it through these events. If it weren't for all the athletes and obstacles I see people face and conquer each day, I don’t know if I’d continue. The human body is amazing and I love seeing people test it to its limits.

Personal Motto:
Do everything in life with a smile.

Interests and Activities Outside of Triathlon:

Since beginning to run, I have dropped any preconceived notion of what an “athlete” looks like and I feel satisfaction in knowing that I can call myself one, too.

Personal Motto:
“I am stronger than I think.” (That, and…”Will Race for Bling!”)
