Awards will be handed out after the Polar Bear Triathlon in December.

Chips 'n Salsa 5k & 10k      

Pat & Catharine both had great runs in the Chips n' Salsa race on September 10th. Pat placed 2nd in his age group in the 10k while Catharine was first in her 5k age group.

F1 * Bottomless * Series Results      

Check out the series RESULTS, which include both races AND the overall points. Robert was the only SSR'er to do both races and qualify for the series.

Los Alamos Triathlon    

The Active.com RESULTS are up! Jan Sramek, Lynette Napier, and Robert placed 3rd, 4th, and 13th in their age groups in a VERY tough field.

Rattlesnake Triathlon    

Matt & Cathy were again the lone SSR participants at the 7/30 Rattlesnake Olympic Tri up in Aurora. Matt came through with an 12th/20 place finish in his AG while Cathy PR'ed her race on the way to a 6/20 finish! RESULTS

Las Vegas Olympic Triathlon    

Matt & Cathy were the lone SSR participants at the 7/23 Las Vegas Tri. Matt came through with an 8th place finish in his AG while Cathy won hers! RESULTS

Burn Lake Duathlon      

Not only did Robert help out at the mini-tri, but he raced the Burn Lake Duathlon on Saturday the 22nd. This is one of the toughest du's in the state, with two runs and a VERY long bike in the middle. To top it off, he got 3rd in his AG!!

Kelly Mine Run   

The recent rains made for a nice race from Magdalena to Kelly on July 9th. Ephraim Ford came in 2nd, about 4 minutes behind Matt, a visiting runner from Ohio who broke the course record. Other notable finishes included Kim Schaeffer, who was 2nd female.

More details & photos will come as I take time to put them in. This was a great race as usual.

Bottomless Triathlon

Robert was the only SSer present for the full Bottomless Triathlon. That meant he had some tough competition in his age group as usual and finished in 67 minutes.
