April 19, 2009 King Tut Tri |
Sunday April 19th was the inaugural King Tut triathlon by Playtri. New race , old course featuring Stonebridge Lake and a 500 meter swim, then the trusted double looped square bike course , followed by an out and back rolling 5k. The morning was in the mid-50’s and proved to be pretty windy. Tracy, racing in the elite wave , was our lone female rep finishing in 1 hour 11. This was her return to racing dating all the way back to her “broken collarbone” fall on that very same course last October. Mudgett also raced elite posting a 1:04 (7:30 swim-22.8 mph bike-6:58 paced run). He was 6 minutes off the pace of the overall winner. |
In the 30-34 division Nick was on! He posted a 1 hour 2 minutes time, which featured the 2nd fasted run split, 19:15. He brought home 1st place. Taylor racing in the 25-29 logged a steady 1:12. Gary (racing on little sleep due to the birth of his new baby) posted a 1:10 with a 21.1 bike split. The last wave (40 plus) was very Loncar intensive with 6 teammates. Scott and Zach lead them out of the swim at the 7:50 mark, 15 seconds later came Ramsey, then Bridge, Chris and finally Brian. A fast transition and an even faster bike ride ( 22.1 average) allowed Zach to be the first of the group to finish in 1:13. Then came Chris (21.0 bike, 24 minute run) and Ramsey both at 1:14, Scott wobbled through a decent run for a 1:16. Then came Bridge who blew a calf muscle. 1:23 and Brian at 1:36 Also great cheering support from Brian’s Parents, Zach’s family ( especially Wills) and young Korey. Special thanks of course always reliable Lael for the great pics and the website posting. For race results click here. |
