Nick Tarasovic (Husband of Pat Tarasovic, Director of the Volunteer Center at United Way) is a big, compassionate guy - well, maybe not quite as big, but still as compassionate - since he started training to be a tri-athlete. He's now raised his sites on completing the Revolutiion3 Cedar Point event in Sandusky, Ohio on September 12, 2010. All he will have to do is swim 2.4 miles, ride a bike for 112 miles and run 26.2 more miles!

That takes dedication and motivation, and when you mix that with Nick's compassion and community spirit, you come up with the ingredients for the Tri-Challenge. That's Tri as in Try! Nick's never done a Triathlon like this before, but he is certainly going to Tri to complete this one. In order to keep him motivated, we've set up the Tri-Challenge, and we're asking you to be part of Nick's support team by really motivating him to train hard and support the community at the same time.
