October 2012: Candyman Triathlon

Perfect weather for a fall triathlon in Rio Rancho. Although all members of the original Triathletes' Intensive Training Society were felled by injury, illness, or insanity before the race, our newest recruits did us proud! Congrats to Wendy, Bekah, Tony & Harris for finishing (and to Tony & Wendy for winning medals in their age groups). And major kudos to Oliver and Simon for amazing performances in the kids' races.

For a little video of Simon in action, check this link on YouTube!
