Local Race Results

Stealth Triathlon

Robert Abernathy, Mike Montoya, and Steven Montoya ran the OCtober 3rd Stealth triathlon. Mike finished third overall and Steven was second in his age group. Results can be found at Transition Times, but they are incomplete since they only show Mike and Steven's results.

  • Mike Montoya - 30.34 minute run, bike done at 1 hour 33 minutes, with a final time of 1:46:50

  • Steven Montoya - 30.17 minute run, bike done at 1 hour 32 minutes, with a final time of 1:47:46

Rio Abajo Days

Christian Krueger recently ran the the Rio Abajo Days half-marathon. Well, he had planned to run it until he showed up on race morning and noticed there would be less competition in the full marathon. Naturally, and despite a 10 mile training run the day before, he entered the marathon and decimated the field. He did so well that his halfway split was so fast that it was only ONE minute behind the winning half-marathon time. Way to go Christian!

If anyone else ran in the race, let us know how you did.

Imogene Pass Run

Jan Thomas and Kim Schaffer both completed the grueling Imogene Pass Run in early September. The race is a 17.1 mile point-to-point mountain race within the western San Juan mountains of Colorado, including the 13,120 foot Imogene Pass. Kim took 2 hours and 35 minutes to summit and finished in just under 3 hours and 45 minutes. Jan took 2 hours and 48 minutes to summit and completed the race in 5:01:45. They finished in 15th and 52nd place in their age groups, respectively a great job for a race that is as hard as a marathon if not harder!

Long Beach Triathlon

Always the opportunist, Robert Abernathy took advantage of a recent trip to California to test his mettle in the Long Beach Tri. Despite wishing he had a wetsuit he had a great time at the race. The triathlon has an interesting course with a 1/2 Mile Swim, 11 mile cycle, and a 3 mile run. The bike course even took him past the Queen Mary!

Robert's times: 0:18:37 swim, 0:03:53 T-1, 0:35:20 bike, 0:01:45 T-2, 0:25:35 run, and a 1:25:10 Final time. Robert finished 63/97 in his AG and 525th out of nearly 1000 men.
