Triathletes' Tribute to a Fallen Friend

By Elizabeth Braun and Jay Sorgi

Family and friends of a popular athlete showed up to the Pewaukee Lake Triathlon, remembering her after she died in a crash.

They wore pictures and stickers honoring Nancy Sellars.

Sellars was killed while riding her bike with a friend last week. Her husband, Jimi, almost didn't show up Sunday, but knew he had to.

"I knew I had to. I had to come," said Jimi.

"Seeing these people do it, that's what she should have been doing. She lived for the journey."

Police say the woman accused of hitting Nancy with her car was drunk at the time of the accident.

Nancy's friend, who was also hit, is still in the hospital.
