MrMarcusirish - actually, Tony came out closer to 30th off the bike.

If that guy Tony can come off the bike in the main group then I can't see anyone stopping him, he must have been 15th coming off the bike, impressive.

USA Triathlon established the Elite Triathlon Academy this fall in Colorado Springs

There is some support for athletes including Vezbicas.

Tony opted for competing at an NCAA level and will be running track and cross country at the University of Michigan while training with their swim team and tri team for triathlon.

can you get a scholarship for triathlon?

[ADuckOnQuack97]

do you have a son doing this?

[RunnerMr1]

@ADuckOnQuack97 - Hi ADuckonQuack97, my son is Tony Smoragiewicz, headed to U of Michigan in the fall. He will be on the cross country and track team as well as train for triathlon. M Go Blue!

what does an amazing triathlete such as Verzbicas split for his 5k run? I simply don't know how fast even the best runners can run a 5k in after the swimming and biking.

what is the beginning song?



[DakotaThyme]

@whitelon the music is 'Slow Burn' from Kevin McCleod available at incompetech. He has some great royalty-free music available in all genres. Julie
