Athletes complete Chicago Triathlon on a sweltering Sunday
Marcus Delatorre was a 16 person to finish the 2010 Lifetimes Fitness Chicago Triathlon and he become one of the youngest athletes to finish.
Delatorre wakes up at 4 a.m. every day to swim at his local pool. After school he runs miles around his neighborhood with the country team.
Then completes his homework rides his bike until he "gets tired".
About 10.500 people participated in this year's rice, included young and old, professionals and amateurs, an d able bodied people and people with disabilities.
The race began at 6 a.m. along the Lake Michigan shoreline, the racers swam about a mile south to north and they then biked north o Lake Shore Drive before circling back around toward the Loop.
When the people finished, children volunteers poured water and cold towels were passed out.
Different people said " It's a mental challenge to overcome the physical barrier" and " Everybody has their own challenges".
My comment
I agree with this article, because the most important things is to have discipline when you want to get something, it doesn't matter how difficult the way is.
good job!
