It’s getting hotter, in more ways than one. The seventh race for this season was held on what felt like the warmest day yet. We also had comfortably the biggest field this year, with 56 athletes at the start line. It was great to see so many new faces, as well as some familiar faces returning to the event.
Well done to Tucker Murphy. In his first start in this series, Tucker won in a blistering time of 23:38. But this race is not all about winning: well done to the many people who have improved out of sight since their own first foray into this race series. Dawn Johnson, for example, has improved radically this year, thanks to hard and consistent training. Well done to Dawn, and to all of you.
A big thank you to everyone who pitched in to help, notably Donna Pilgrim for keeping our athletes safe at the bike turn, Jane Hope for making sure that all the swimmers came out of the water safely and for traffic control, and Janet Harrison, who helped me (Alan Gilbertson) in trying to record the results as athletes flocked across the finish line.
The results follow. Please let me know asap at [email protected] if your name has been misspelled or if I’ve incorrectly recorded your distances; I’ll be pleased to correct these details.
