Kraft’s Local Connection to Raise the Bar.....

Jim Tanasse  of Kraft Foods has been a member of RTB’s triathlon team since 2005.  Jim discovered his own passion for triathlon and quickly made his way from sprint distance athlete to an Ironman finisher at Ironman Coeur d’Alene in June of 2007.  

Jim continues to train and race and will be easily detected on the race courses in 2008.  At 6’5”, he is pretty easy to spot.
