On August 9, 2011, a dear friend and fellow triathlete, Pete Cadwell lost his life. This was a tragic and sudden end for Pete and he's left behind his wife Mary Beth, and twin boys, Ethan and Hayden.
Pete was the longtime President and driving force behind Boston Triathlon Team. As a top swimmer from college, he continued his competitive goals of countless age group wins, Ironman races, adventure races, mountain biking and hiking.
Pete and MB shared their enthusiasm for triathlon, the great outdoors and adventure with everyone whom they met. Personally, I spent many days in cycling class, running at the track, and chasing our matching dogs together. Pete was the kind of guy who remembered what was important to everyone else and kept in close contact with anyone he connected with.
We will miss you Pete. The world is not the same without your contagious smile and laughter, your big sexy hair, and your encouragement and enthusiasm.
Tomorrow I will race at the Age Group Nationals in Burlington, VT. I will be racing for you and dedicate this race to you, your family and the memory of a triathlete who left us way too early.
