We had another fantastic weekend with athletes finishing an IRONMAN 70.3, the Waterman's "watch out for the jellyfish" Tri, long distance 5K swim and 100 mi cycling events, and more! We also had podium achievers at Waterman's and at the French Creek FallSwimFest! More about those coming later... So what's going on this week?
