RIP to the two NYC Triathletes-

Submitted by DChu on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 12:19am

We all know triathletes who became stronger cyclists through NYCC and the SIGs; And we all have friends who have been injured while cycling or training, but this is terrible. 

RIP to the two athletes who passed away during the NYC Triathlon on Sunday. Sympathies and prayers to their familes and loved ones.
