Triathlon Race Reports (1997) - W. Wood Harter

This is me at my first race of the 1997 season. This is the Carlsbad Triathlon. The picture was taken by a photographer who wanted a lot of money for reprints. This is the proof with all the writing on it. At this point in the race, I have 2 miles left to run and have already finished the swim and bike.
