ATHLETE OF THE MONTH!
This month's AOM is Walt Maxwell. Walt is an active member and supporter of the TTT. His enthusiasm, energy, and positive attitude are contagious and have inspired many TTT'ers to push through barriers they had previously considered impossible to achieve. Even before completing his first full iron distance triathlon at Beach2Battleship, Walt had signed up for IM Canada AND IM Chattanooga! With such a full agenda, expect to see Walt out and about all over Greensboro.  I encourage you to click here to read a short Q&A about Walt.
