It's a sure sign of summer - the Jacksonville Sprint Triathlon series returned to Fernandina Beach June 19, the first in a series of three summer sprint triathlons. It was a warm but beautiful morning for a quarter-mile swim in the Atlantic at Main Beach, followed by a 10-mile bike ride down South Fletcher Avenue and back, and a 3-mile run up North Fletcher and back. |

Most of the field was made up of "out-of-town" athletes, but Amelia Island Runners was well represented by Bruce Dunham, Clay Hewett, Roger Oliver, Bill Pennington and Jack Tomassetti.
