Editor, The Friday Flyer:

The Canyon Lake Triathlon Club's Fitness Committee would like to extend sincere thanks to all who helped to make Fit Community 2012 a success this past Saturday. This event could never have been so fabulous without the support of the sponsors and vendors, volunteers and residents who participated, as well as their families and other spectators. Despite the rainy and cold conditions, almost 300 participants ran or walked in the 5K and 10K races and 1K kids fun run.

Thanks also to Barton Patrol, the City of Canyon Lake, the Canyon Lake Special Enforcement Team, the Emergency Preparedness Team, and the staff of the Operations Department who worked so hard to ensure this event ran seamlessly. Despite having to show up at 4 a.m. and work non-stop throughout the day, the Operations staff were there with a smile on their faces and ready to help at every moment.

We’d like to recognize Mayor Jordan Ehrenkranz, POA Board President Paul Chenette and City of Canyon Lake Councilwoman Nancy Horton who attended the event and helped to make announcements and present awards. In addition, a special thanks to Bert Barbay who photographed the event, Paul Chenette who sang the National Anthem, Thunder who entertained our participants and Lynn Jensen, POA Corporate Relations Manager, who helped in our coordination efforts.

We hope to see everyone at Fit Community 2013, scheduled for Saturday, January 19th!
