USA Triathlon Congrats to Chris Brown, who won a free USAT annual membership as our unofficial 10,000th FB fan. He actually just had a great answer to why he thought he was the 10,000th fan. You could win, too. Keep visiting this page for future contests and giveaways... and tell your friends to stop by.

Chris's answer: When I clicked on Become a Fan I was startled out of my seat when confetti fell from the ceiling and a marching band came out of the closet and serenaded me with Andy Potts's alma matter's fight song "The Victors". All the while the number 10,000 was flashing on my computer screen. I'm pretty sure I was the 10,000th fan!

I was going to be the 9,100 fan, but I procrastinated, much like in my training, and put off joining until I was under too much pressure to NOT get it done. So, after I decided not to do a Brick workout, I figured I would at least become a fan. That way I did something for my training that day!
