LINCOLN — Whether it’s a half or the full boat, a triathlon is a true test of one’s mental and physical endurance, combining long-distance swimming, bicycling and running into a single event.
There will more than 1,300 amateur and professional athletes from 40 states and 20 countries at today’s fourth annual Amica Ironman 70.3 triathlon — a 1.2-mile swim at Lincoln Woods, a 56-mile bike through the Blackstone Valley region and a 13.1-mile run that finishes at the R.I. State House. Among those participants is Hector Picard.
