What a great experience to participate in the St. Anthony's Triathlon. I thought running a marathon was a physical challenge but quickly found out that an Olympic distance triathlon was just as challenging. I came across the finish line swearing I wont do it again, but quickly changed my mind when I realized I can do better next year, especially when it comes to biking (ouch!) Congratulations to all my South Tampa, Interbay YMCA and St. Pete Mad Dog friends who participated. See you next year! ~ Rick Jansik
