It all started in the fall of 2013
In the autumn of 2013, a spark of inspiration ignited among a close-knit circle of friends — Chris Hatfield, Ted Meenk, Dexter Guiang, and Anna Crosetti — during their track workout. The genesis of something truly special had begun.
The Seattle Green Lake Running Group leader offered them their logo, allowing them to make a transformative adjustment. Two of the three runners morphed into a swimmer and a cyclist, solidifying the group's distinct identity.
This subtle yet powerful alteration became the hallmark of the Seattle Green Lake Triathlon Group, signifying a shift from a simple idea among friends to a symbol that resonated with the larger community of like-minded triathletes.
The seed was planted in January 2014.

Their shared dedication and camaraderie formed the heart of a unique and thriving community that stood out as a testament to the power of friendship, common pursuit, and community.
