The first place Hero was Leon Nevins and the Heroine was Alexandra Ekonomakis, both hailing from MWSS-273.

From Gotham to Smallville, heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They could have a cape or be ninja turtles. It doesn’t matter the make or model of your costume, it is a person’s actions that turn the average into extraordinary. Our Tri-Command community includes countless heroes that put on the uniform daily to serve our county, take care of their families, watch out for friends, and run in the 5K’s.

If you are interested in triathlons, races, or other fitness opportunities, please call 843-228-6638 or 843-228-6712.

Three hundred and ninety-five participants, ranging in age from eleven to seventy-seven, faced the challenge of a 500 meter swim, 10.3 mile bike ride and a 3.1 mile run. The men’s military winner, LtCol Hipp of VMFA-115, crossed the finish line with a time of 1:18:16.8 and the women’s military winner was Capt King of VMFA(AW)-533, crossing the finish line with a time of 1:18:16.8. The overall male winner was Alex Hutton with a time of 56:46 and the female winner was Amy Koepp with a time of 1:03.

For some this race was the first of many this year and for others it was a chance at redemption. As was the case for Patty, a wife, mother, and grandmother who suffered serious injuries sustained in an accident last year. After a year of physical therapy, training, and lots of determination, she finished the race with her family cheering her on.

If you are interested in triathlons, races, or other fitness opportunities, call 843-228-6638 or 843-228-6712.
