Local Duluthian, Janna Radtke, accomplished her first ever Triathlon last year in the 23rd Annual Brewhouse Triathlon, held at the Pike Lake AAA Beach Club. Even though it was her first attempt at a triathlon Janna opted for the long course because she knew it would be even more of an accomplishment and she was up for the challenge.

Janna will be once again competing this year in the 24th Annual Brewhouse Triathlon held Sunday, August 01, 2010 at Pike Lake AAA Beach Club.
