Ryan Coleman: Correct. I mean an event like this, I mean I was with Keller for five years and I have never seen anything like this.

Interviewer: Well, Metro Brokers does a lot of... you know we work with Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics is a big group, Big Brothers, Big Sisters things like that, but this thing turned out pretty successful.

Ryan Coleman: Most definitely. I am... it is just amazing. I am glad everybody came out and I was part of it.

Interviewer: Yeah, so next year I think it seems that you are young, you are under the 35, right?

Ryan Coleman: Most of us under the 35, we were just talking about which leg I am going to do. I don't know about all three, so....

Jimmy Archer Overall Winner of First Annual Metro Brokers Triathlon

Metro Brokers TV: Well, we are here with Jimmy Archer. Jimmy, it looks like you are going to be the overall winner here at the first annual Metro Brokers triathlon. Congratulations.

Jimmy Archer: Thank you. Thanks. It was a good one.

Interviewer: So, what do you think your time is going to come in at?

Jimmy Archer: I think it will be right around an hour maybe, just under 59 something.

Interviewer: What's the normal? What's considered a great time for these spread triathlons?

Jimmy Archer: Well, they are all... the sprints have a little bit of variation and distance, but usually if you can go under an hour, you are doing pretty well because that's... you know, if you figure it, it's half of an Olympic distance, you know sub two hours for those is pretty fast. So, if... like 59 or something, like that's not bad.

Interviewer: So, I assume you participated in some other triathlons?

Jimmy Archer: Yeah, a couple. I race... I race professionally, so. I do probably... I don't know... 10 to 20, 15 plus a year.

Interviewer: Well, how is Metro Brokers doing in their first triathlon, their first event?

Jimmy Archer: It's good. It's really good. I like it. Friday evening idea is unique, never really done that before. It's nice, it's cool, so that's good and the area out here is really nice because there is not much traffic and it's nice roads and all that, so. i think it was good. It was good.

Interviewer: Well, we appreciate your support for Special Olympics and congratulations on your winning for the first annual Metro Broker triathlon event.

Jimmy Archer: Thank you. Thanks for putting it on. I mean we need... we need people putting on the events. So, it's great to have events like this that are close to home. I am up in Boulder and it's nice to be able to just hop down here and get in a really good event.

Interviewer: Well, we hope you see here next year then man

Jimmy Archer: Yeah.

Interviewer: Thanks Jimmy.

Jimmy Archer: Thank you, thank you.
