Wow, what a great event we had last weekend at the Guthrie Lake! The First Capital Triathlon was a huge success! We had 197 people participate with lots of volunteers and supporters showing up early Saturday morning. You will find over 250 pictures on facebook by looking and liking the First Capital Triathlon. Thanks again to the City of Guthrie, YMCA, Rachel Mueller and our twenty one sponsors that made this event so successful!
