SALISBURY — After not holding the event in 2011, Vermont Sun officials decided this year to bring back the grueling Vermont Journey, which was contested on Sunday and based at Branbury State Park on Lake Dunmore — and was dominated by newcomers to the Half Ironman distance triathlon.
The Vermont Journey is the longest triathlon held in Vermont, consisting of 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of biking and 13.1 miles of running. The Vermont Journey is the apex of the Vermont Sun Triathlon Series of five triathlons.
