-MINISTRY NEED!!!!!!!!!
Many of you know Steve Harmon from our North metro Atlanta team. Steve is the youth Pastor for Dawsonville FBC. Steve joined FCA Endurance 2 years ago as a way to get involved with triathlons but also to use triathlons as a ministry tool for some of his youth. Steve shared with a few of us this past weekend at EMI that he has a couple of guys racing again this year but they are in need of BIKES. Most of these kids are either not training on the bike, or having to ride mountain bikes because that's all they can find. As a ministry project I have thrown out the challenge to see if anyone has any old bikes that they don't use any more. The Delzell's donated a bike this past weekend to Steve but he could use a couple more. If you have a bike that you would like to donate or maybe know someone that might please let Mike Roby know.

Brenda featured in Iroman Kona article

In just three years in our sport, Brenda Herrington (W40-44) is making some noise. Florida was only her second attempt at this distance and her time of 10:14:57 shows she has what it takes to mix it up with elite gals in Kona....
