A Winner!
Vin Contento is an age group triathlete who has been competing in long distance endurance events for the last seven years. He began running to get into shape and live a healthier lifestyle, running half and full marathons, but soon was eager for a new challenge. Triathlon was that next challenge; he began with shorter distance triathlons and soon worked his way up to full ironman distance races. His next race will take him just north of Montreal, Canada for the inaugural Ironman Mont-Tremblant. Iron distant triathlons consist of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run. He completed Ironman Florida in 2010. This will be his second Ironman race.
Vin lives in Camden, Maine with his wife Alison, and two daughters Sarah and Caroline who love to cheer him on. Vin is also the brother of one of our Board of Directors, Mrs. Carla Olivo, our Communications Director.
Cheering Dad on!
