Clark Archibald Preps for Ironman Arizona

Club Team member Clark Archibald (pictured at right) placed 22nd in the Men's 40-44 age group at the Hammerhead Olympic Triathlon in Jacksonville, Florida on August 24, 2008.  His 2:51:26 clocking placed him 125th overall in the field.  The race is also called the "HOT Tri" and, according to Clark, it is!  Clark is currently training for Ironman Arizona in November.

Club Team Member Fred Mehrer Returns to Racing After Heart Surgery!

On 8/23/08, Club Team member Fred Merher completed the Peachtree City Sprint Triathlon in 1:12:52.  He placed a very respectable 15th in the 40-44 age group.  But, the really amazing thing is that Fred, who is pictured left in transition before the race, had been out of action with an irregular heartbeat.  To correct the problem, doctors performed a Catheter Ablation procedure.  After two months of recovery, Fred was back in action on the triathlon circuit!  Nice comeback, Fred!  Keep up the great work!
