Interviewer:    Welcome to the Metro Brokers Triathlon.  This is our 3rd annual venue, we are here at Cherry Creek State Reservoir, and I am here with Watson and George here from Lodo's and welcome guys.

Watson Cornell:  Well thank you very much.  It's been an awesome event.

This is an extreme outdoor activity for somebody that is disabled and I was really happy to find out that a friend of mine that I know through Adaptive Adventures, a gal named LuAnn and I don't know her last name, but she was participating today I found out at the last minute that she happened to be being guided, she is blind, she was guided by Watson's wife Sidney, who I do know very well since he and I have worked together for more than a decade.  It was just such a small planet and it's a fantastic event and things are cool.

Interviewer:    Awesome, well the energy here this year is just great.  For a 3rd annual event I think things are really starting to pick up.

Watson Cornell:  It's an amazing event, I mean I think for, in one of the sprint races I mean, you get an unbelievable amount of talent out here.  I mean, Tim Hola, you know, from Timex team.  Adam Weaver, he's, you know, one of the guys that's in top, top of the nation, you know my wife is out there too just so you know, little kudos to her, and it's an amazing event, its one of the first sprints for the season and a lot of people come out for it and I see this thing just growing and growing, so it's a fantastic event and you know, hats off to Metro Brokers for putting this on.

Interviewer:    Well, I just tell you Watson, I mean one of the big things that people always compliment is the food and you guys have been with us from the very beginning, so we appreciate that.

Watson Cornell:  Well I appreciate, you know, and hope that this will get more attendance and some seats, that's what we are trying to do is get more people in the seats and get them a really nice meal.

Interviewer:    You bet.  Well we appreciate your sponsorship and being a part of Metro Brokers.

Tom Guest, President of Metro Brokers speaks to us from the 3^rd Annual Metro Brokers Triathlon. The event drew over 200 participants who competed at the Cherry Creek Reservoir.

Interviewer:    Welcome to the 3rd Annual Metro Brokers Triathlon.  I am here today with Tom Guest.  Tom Guest is the President of Metro Brokers and Tom, what do you think of the event so far?

Tom Guest:  Oh, this is the most fantastic event I have ever been to.  This is so exciting.  We've got over two hundred people, biking, and running and in the water and it's just an excellent event from Metro Brokers.

Interviewer:  Yeah, it looks like the weather is a little more conducive today; it looks like we got a new record that came in.

Tom Guest:  It is, it is.  The swim was very good, because the water is nice and flat, less wind, so it was a good event, all around very good.

Interviewer:    So what's been the feedback so far from the people you've talked to, here at this event versus say running a golf tournament?

Tom Guest:  Oh, they love this event.  The participation is great; we are getting more activities and more activities out to the whole community, so it's very good.

Interviewer:    Excellent.  I noticed a few more handicapped participants this year too?

Tom Guest:   We did.  We had one that I actually helped into the water and I provided a chair for him so he could change his prosthetics.  And he came out of the water and now he's already gone to the biking and he's on the course right now, so I'm waiting to see how he does.

Interviewer:    Great.  Well, it's a great event Tom, and we appreciate everything you do for Metro Brokers too.

Tom Guest:  Thank you.  I love it.  Thanks for the event.
