With his astonishing win, Mark Warkentin is ranked as the top American contender for a spot for the Olympic open water event. He'll earn a spot by placing in the top 10 in either two events: FINA World Championship in April or FINA Olympic Marathon Qualifer in June. Way to go Mark!

Interbike Athlete Signing - Becky Lavelle
Becky Lavelle joined the Interbike team for a day of autograph signings. She is a great sport. At times, there were some interesting fans requesting pictures with her.
To our surprise, a few days after she left Las Vegas, she competed at the Tinley's Triathlon. She rocked it! She won the event while our male triathlete Greg Remaly won the men's event. This lines Becky up for a strong chance to win the overall Tri Cal Series. She also won Wildflower and Pacific Grove Triathlon. Last year, she won the Tri Cal Series.

Interbike - Booth
TYR's booth at Interbike was impressive. We had a great location right near the front of the show. You can get lost at the show, since it's so big. Luckily, TYR had a banner hanging from the ceiling to easily locate the booth.
