Tri Hero: D.D. Quillian
D.D. Quillian has competed in Tri to Beat Cancer since 2012, but has participated in triathlons since 1986.
" Tri to Beat Cancer is a great race for 1st time triathletes. It has a time trial swim start as opposed to a wave start, and a short swim leg and a fast run course. For these reasons there are many 1st time competitors in the field. It is nice how helpful all the seasoned competitors and volunteers are to the new racers. For sure, there are serious racers there, and the competition can be fierce but everyone seems to help any way that they can. It is really a lot of fun."
