Buffalo Springs Trathlons

Terry Moore, Mike Montoya, and others competed in the Buffalo Springs races on the weekend of June 24-25. Check out the results page where you can see that Mike not only did the sprint but he won it!

Grandma's Marathon

Katie continues to make great progress towards her goal of a sub-4:00 marathon. This time it was Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, MN, where she finished in 4:21:24, or about the top 1/3rd of all females.

France Stevens Triathlon

Not so windy as the last tri! There were enough last minute entries to make it a fun race with 84 participants. As usual, the run was about .2 miles short in the 5k/35k/400m race.

 I have scanned in the raceday results, which have at least error (Mary Wells in M45-49) Page 1 & Page 2.

Duece's Wild Triathlons

The results are finally up on the race's  webpage. Great job to Cathy Pfeifer for finishing third in the Olympic tri, Matt for being 5th/11 in a tough age group. They also finished well (3rd I blieve) in the Off-road tri relay!

Kona 70.3

Steven Montoya had an excellent time in Kona for the 70.3 (was called a half-ironman). He even placed 15th in his age group and 113th overall.

Milkman Triathlon (Roswell)

We had a bunch of locals do the race with 3 Higgs' WINNING their age classifications along with Erika winning hers and Jayme getting a second! For the official results, see the CCR Timing website.

Sahuarita Lake Triathlon

On Memorial Day, Julie, Ephraim, and Rafael enjoyed the murky waters of the Sahuarita Lake Tri (just south of Tucson). It was Rafael's first tri and he bested over half of his age group while everyone else lowered their times from last year. Ephraim even pulled off a 2nd place AG finish after taking the overall winner out of the group. Full results for the 1000m/25k/5k race are here.

Jay Benson Sprint Triathlon (ABQ)

We had quite a few Soccorans do the race with 3 Higgs' placing in their classifications! For the official results, see the CCR Timing website.

Run For the Zoo 5k/10k (ABQ)

We had at least 8 Soccorans run either the 5k or 10k on May 7th! For the official results, see the Do It Sports website.

San Diego Spring Sprint Triathlon

Pete had quite an interesting  trip on the weekend of May 6th-7th - He drove to San Diego and did a spint tri while there! Despite the water being around 65 degrees and the swim start going off without him for 90 seconds, he finished 11th/35 in his age group with a time of 1:04:35 according to the results online.
