091707. The LA Tri Club brought world champ triathlete, Chris McCormack, into town to address a room full of 300 athletes last Monday night. I admit, I've got quite a crush on the Aussie (married, father of two!)! Super charming, fun, laid-back... and, a KICK ASS-WORLD CLASS talent... Of course, all eyes will be on him at the World Championships in Kona on Oct. 13th.
This is what The Bird looks like, when filled with 300 Clubbers and Friends. I can't even fit everyone in my camera lens!
Bob Babbitt of Competitor Magazine and Competitor Radio interviewed Macca Q&A style, which worked great, since Bob probably knows more or as much about Triathlon as anyone else in-the-know. He asked some insightful questions and, judging by the silence in the room during the talk, everyone found Macca riveting.
