Triathlon Pictures

Check these out. Thanks to Katrin Jendersie for taking so many great pictures.

Here are some more from Nadya.

Results

We had a good turnout of 18 participants, a bit larger than last year. The weather was expected to be stormy, but it turned out to be great - cool and overcast with no precipitation or wind, just a bit humid.

• First Place Male: Ingo Torchiani (1:12:33)
• First Place Female: Alison Lister (1:25:42)

The GSA would like to thank everyone who participated. A special thanks to the Fermilab Security who provided equipment and help with traffic control for our athletes during the cycling portion of the race and to Chuck Morrison for reviewing and okaying the proposed course. We'd also like to thank Jean Guyer for letting us use the pool and FES-Services for the use of cones for the running course.

Listed in the table below are the split times for each participant.

Registration

If you have friends or family who want to participate or spectate who are NOT Fermilab ID holders, we can get them on a list for access to the site. Email GSA_OFFICERS@fnal.gov if you have someone you'd like added to that list. Deadline to be added to the list is noon on Friday the 27th.

Registration is open to both individual participants and teams of up to three people. So there is no excuse to not participate.

If you plan on participating please email the GSA officers to pre-register. It will also be possible to register for the event on Saturday morning.

Race Details

• Swim-wear
• A Bicycle: Road and Mountain bikes are both acceptable. Aerobars are also okay.
• A Bicycle Helmet: Approved headgear is REQUIRED anytime you are on your bike during the event.
• Footwear.

BIKE: The transition area will be right outside the pool in front of the Kuhn barn. The bike course will be on roads inside Fermilab. Roads will still be open to traffic so participants will need to obey the rules of the road and yield to automobile and pedestrian traffic. Fermilab security and other volunteers will be helping with traffic control at key intersections on the race course. The course will also be marked and maps will be available at the race.

The bike course will be as follows:

1. Exit transition area on Sauk Rd.
2. Right at four-way stop onto Batavia Rd.
3. Right at four-way stop onto Eola Rd.
4. Straight at three-way stop onto Wilson St.

RUN: The bicycle portion of the race ends back at Kuhn barn where the bicycle will be given up for a pair of sneakers. The run is on both paved roads and a small path that circles the A.E. Sea. The path is un-even so runners should be prepared for this "off-road" run.

We'll also have bagels, fruit, and other snacks for racers and spectators alike at the barn. There will also be plenty of water and gatorade to go around.
