Aug 13, 2007 WTVG story that includes video:
More than 870 athletes from 26 states and three countries came out to run, bike and swim Sunday. They endured a one-mile swim, a 25-mile bike ride and six-mile run. The men's winner of the Olympic division was Daniel Bretscher of Greencastle, Indiana, who completed it all in just under one hour, 53 minutes. The women's winner was Megan James of Kalamazoo who won it in just under two hours and 10 minutes.
I believe the most mature participant for the day, 73-year-old Johanna completing the sprint triathlon:
Great to see some coverage on this event. I've always wanted to try a tri but do not have decent swimming skills. One day I'll to try the duathon.
