Tri- and duathlete Nicholas Sterghos catches a breath with fellow athletes Nick Dason (left) and Nick Vandam (right). Nicholas took 1st Overall and 1st in his Age Group at the April 2009 National Duathlon Festival Championship in Richmond, VA.

Graduating from West Point, serving in the Army, and competing at the elite level have always been dreams of mine.  How lucky I am that I currently experience all three.

A big thank you goes out to my current sponsors:  Sable WaterOptics, sbill swimming, Serotta, TGI Healthworks,Total Immersion.  If you’re interested in helping sponsor me for tri- and duathlon races as well, please contact my representative, Louis Tharp.

In this blog, I’ll share my adventures as I STERG across America — hitting New York, California, Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana.  Racing, results, sponsors … I’ll share everything that makes competition so enjoyable.

And I’ll be buying a car in Indiana.  (Hopefully from a company that still exists in a year.)
