Representatives from about 20 different vendors were there, including Orange Theory Fitness, Advanced Wellness chiropractors, Family Dentist of Palm Beach and NuVista rehab and nursing home.

The sprint-level triathlon required participants to swim .25 mile in the ocean, ride their bikes for 11 miles on Lake Worth city streets, and run a 5K through the city's downtown.
Carol Hassell, 60, of West Palm Beach was the women's winner with a time of one hour, 7 minutes and 44 seconds. In the men's division, John Reback, 43, of Jupiter, came in first with his time of 56 minutes and 19 seconds. For a list of the finishers, go here. For more race day photos, go here and here.
Truly an inspiring event!
