Congratulations to Triathlete Melissa Meza!

It was the Nautica New York City Triathlon. There were 3,200 psychotic triathletes who put in long hours of training. Melissa survived the Hudson River, can you imagine anything more crazy? It was a 1.5K swim, 40K bike,up the West Side Highway up to Yonkers, and 10K run in Central Park. This is her second triathlon in the last two years. She did it through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, trying to raise funds to cure cancer. Melissa raised over $3,500 for the society and the society raised over $700K with the triathletes alone. Her time was 3 hours and 40 min- a little longer than expected, but outstanding nevertheless.
