Roxy the dog's owner is Kaitlin Donner- Elite ITU Triathlete and her profile is here: http://www.usatriathlon.org/athletes/bios/kaitlin-donner.aspx
I met her through my sister at IMFL 2014. (Can't believe it hasn't even been 2 weeks since the race!!)
I was reading my USAT 40th Anniversary edition and came across her name! The race results list her as 8 minutes behind the winner, and Kaitlin was in 44th! What a whole different animal ITU racing is! I obviously know very little about it, but what I do know is they sometimes set up a pool in the middle of a Walmart parking lot and bike within the small radius they are allowed in the city. There were photos of this in the USAT magazine too. Crazy! Some of the rules are a little different too, and the ones I know are that they are allowed to draft on the bike and can only have a road bike set up (as opposed to tri bike geometry), but I believe they are allowed aero bars on their road bike setup. I'm sure there are way more rules than that.
Good luck on your races in 2015! We'll be following you and cheering for you from Colorado :)
