2. "Cancer overcome, next hurdle is triathlon" - Harrie Bakst's story of how he has worked to overcome his 2007 diagnosis and treatment of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma by taking up marathons, and is now taking on the New York City triathlon is told in the Riverdale Press (a New York state paper, maybe in the Bronx - someday I will get on my librarian soapbox about online newspapers not saying where they are located): http://riverdalepress.com/stories/Cancer-overcome-next-hurdle-is-triathlon,37330. I look forward to hearing how he did during the race. The New York Triathlon organization has many more offerings in 2010 if you want to follow Mr. Bakst's example: http://www.nytri.org/calender.cfm
