Dear Bearman Athletes,
For many years, our family « The Laidlow Tribe » Richard, Sam, Jake, and I, have been honored to share the Bearman Xtreme Triathlon journey with so many of you.
Together, we’ve embraced the physical challenges our magnificent Vallespir provided , celebrated many personal triumphs, and forged unforgettable memories. As many of you know this amazing Triathlon life has now led us down a new and exciting path, but one that requires our full attention. This leaves us without the considerable time and energy needed to organize the event to the standard it deserves.
While we are not closing the door entirely, we must pause our efforts for now. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. Your passion, determination, and camaraderie have been the heart and soul of Bearman.
We are deeply grateful for the incredible experiences we’ve shared and the community we’ve built together. Should the opportunity arise to reignite the Bearman spirit, in the future you will be the first to know.
Until then, we carry forward the lessons and friendships that have enriched our lives. Thank you for being part of our Bearman family and for the countless amazing memories.
With heartfelt appreciation, Michelle and the Tribe .
