| Sgt. Jeff Renzella and Sgt. Scott Whittemore competed in the Black Fly Triathlon held in Waterville Valley, NH in July of 2010. The event consisted of a .25 mile swim, a 20 mile bike ride, and a 5 mile run. There was heavy rain during the race, which slowed things down quite a bit. There are apparently no flat roads in the dreaded Campton-Thorton area of New Hampshire either, as the last four miles of the bike was all uphill from Campton Village. Veteran triathathlete Sgt. Renzella carried the WPD team making strong showing, while first timer (The Mooseman only had the bike and the run) Sgt. Whittemore was just thankful for not drowning during the swim. |
| "Excuse me, do you know where the finish line is?" |
| Nobody likes the Campton-Thorton Hills. Nobody. |

| The Renzella kids are quite a cheering section! |
