Now Taking De Soto Orders
The club is now taking discounted orders from De Soto Sports, a top
triathlon apparel company. Get in touch with Robert or Matt to let
them know what you want or ask for the catalog. I believe it is a 25%
discount.

Mt Taylor Quadrathlon Results
Grants, NM, only two hours away from Socorro,
holds the most popular multisport race in New Mexico every President's
Day weekend. That's the Mt Taylor Quadrathlon, a bike/run/ski/snowshoe
race that covers 22 miles from the town of Grants to the 11301' peak of
Mt Taylor, and then reverses itself for the 22 miles back to Grants.
This year, there were nearly 280 soloists in the
Quad, and about the same number of people in 4-person teams and
2-person pairs. Socorroans included soloist Matt Perini, the "New
Mexico Tech Viejos + 1" team (Tim Hankins, Don Trout, Carl Popp, Ron
Thomas) and the "Add and Subtract" pair (Addy Bhasker, Paul Krehbiel).
Bhasker was the only rookie, doing the bike and run for the first time.
The soloists start at 9AM, an hour before the
teams and pairs, and it was a cold 20-degrees outside when the bikes
got rolling. But after a few minutes of climbing the mountain, enough
heat is generated to make up for it. Perini took time off every leg of
his third attempt at the Quad, finally finishing 70 minutes faster than
in 2003, in 5 hours, 37 minutes. The Viejos, starting an hour later,
made up more than half an hour on Perini, finishing in 5:04, and
winning their age group. "Add and Subtract" also won their age group,
finishing in 5:49. The overall winners were Coloradoans Josiah Middaugh
(3:41) and Danelle Ballange (4:10). This was Ballangee's 7th win, and
Middaugh's first, after taking second in a close finish in 2003.
