11 www.CharlestonWomenPodcast.com | www.ReadCW.com | www.Instagram.com/CharlestonWomen She Tris was founded in 2016 by Angela Klick to provide a high-quality triathlon experience for women regardless of whether they were new to the sport or a seasoned triathlete. She Tris is the only pool swim triathlon and women-only triathlon in the Charleston area. It currently offers two regional events for women throughout the year. Every year a percentage of proceeds benefit area organizations like Tri It For Life, ROTC clubs and local swim teams. Over 250 women participated in the Crews Subaru She Tris Sprint Triathlon at The I’On Club in Mount Pleasant before a record number of sponsors and spectators. The event, part of the national USA Triathlon Women’s Series, saw finishers from a myriad of backgrounds, overcoming various challenges to get to the finish line. Even a legally blind participant on a tandem bike finished the race! While the term triathlon can seem daunting to some, She Tris aims to diminish the intimidation factor by offering short distance events, pool swims and an encouraging atmosphere. “Our volunteers, often triathletes themselves, are just top notch. Many show up at every event we put on just to make sure our participants feel supported,” said Sarah Hays, co-owner and Champion of Enthusiasm. Those who missed the I’On event or are looking to get started can sign up for the next triathlon at SheTris. com. The event is Sept. 23 at Carnes Crossroads in Summerville.
