Candidate Statement – Scott Gayler

In 2013 I completed my first triathlon. I crossed the finish line to the cheers of my immediate family and a few stragglers.

Candidate Statement – Eric Fashl

Fellow Athletes and Friends, I became involved with the Seattle Green Lake Triathlon Group because I was determined to finish an Ironman in 2014.
