Metro Brokers TV:  And this is Mark Eibner with Metro Brokers TV and we are here at the first annual Metro Brokers Triathlon in here, and we are really here with the founder; Mike, congratulations.

Mike Bradley:  Thank you very much Mark.

Interviewer:  So, did you ever think a couple of springs ago when you came up with the big audacious idea of a Metro Broker triathlon would ever materialize?

Mike Bradley:  Yeah.  I had never had doubt, but this is great, seeing all these people out here; it seems be going very smoothly.

Interviewer:  Oh, yeah.  All the... everyone is liking the venue.  So, I just want to know how you got to be number one, but you came in 46th?

Mike Bradley:  I started 46th, that's why[Phonetic].

Interviewer:  Oh, is that what it was?

Mike Bradley:  Yeah, definitely.  I was the first to register, so you get number one.

Interviewer:  You definitely an inside... inside avenue there.

Mike Bradley:  You bet.

Interviewer:  So, you have been in some other triathlons then right?

Mike Bradley:  Yeah, I have done a couple.  This is my first of this year though.

Interviewer:  Without being prejudiced, how do you think the Metro Brokers one compared to some of the ones you have been in?

Mike Bradley:  So far, this is just as smooth as anything I have seen.  You know we have got the dinner afterwards.  We will see how it ends at the night.

Interviewer:  Yeah.  Is that pretty typical for triathlons as far as like food and beer and stuff?

Mike Bradley:  The ones I do, yeah.

Interviewer:  Oh!  You stick with the food and beer ones.

Mike Bradley:  I always make sure there is a meal and something to drink after, definitely.

Interviewer:  Yeah, well, great job.  I think everything has been pulled off.  It's been smooth; number one, number two winners have been real pleased with the venue.

Mike Bradley:  Super.  That is the best we could ask for.  It will just get bigger every year.

Interviewer:  You bet.  Where do you think we want to take this next year?

Mike Bradley:  300 to 400 people.

Interviewer:  And your goal this year was 200?

Mike Bradley:  200, I think we came right around there.

Interviewer:  Yeah, I had had heard 180 and there were about 16 walk ups.

Mike Bradley:  Yeah, that is fantastic.

Interviewer:  Congratulations Mike.  A great job man.

Mike Bradley:  Thank you very much Mark.  Thanks.
