Justin Riley IA 2.0 Hair for San Francisco T100 – Triathlete

It’s been a busy 12 months for American Justin Riel. Last May, Riley earned a spot in the wild-card slot for the 2025 San Francisco T100, where he quickly worked his way to a hard-fought 14th-place finish in a stacked field. From there, Riley clinched two podiums — third place with a 70.3 Boise in July and second place with a 70.3 Cozumel in September.

Although neither field was as star-studded as his T100 debut, it gave Riley the confidence to take the leap and leave his career as a senior marketing manager behind to join a professional triathlete – something that Announced in March It has been well documented ever since.

The impact was bad enough to crack his helmet and break his collarbone and shoulder bone, requiring emergency surgery less than 24 hours after the accident.
