Congratulations to everyone who braved the stormy weather to come out for the third annual Indoor Triathlon at McBurney YMCA!  This was one of the closest races that I can remember, with some very strong competitors. 

Longtime indoor tri veteran Maggie Deschamps took the top spot for the women despite technical problems in the swim and on the treadmill.  In what is probably the closest finish on record, she narrowly beat Jessica Sebor for the top spot by less than 1 ½ points!  Third place woman Katy Fraser was actually ahead of both Maggie and Jessica after the swim and bike, but wasn’t able to sustain her speed on the run.  Keep an eye on her at the championships!  Patricia Meyer and Jennifer Manning stole the show on the swim, pushing down the curve for the women and handily beating almost all the men!

On the mens side there was no single dominant competitor.  David Mendelsohn took the top spot with a very strong bike and run, edging ahead of JackRabbit’s own Mike Galvan for the top spot.  Keith Morton put in a heck of a swim and was still able to keep it going on the bike and run to take third.

For this event, the top 10 men and top 10 women all qualified for the Indoor Tri championships at Asphalt Green on March 9th, 2008.  (The top 11 men qualified because Mike Galvan as a JackRabbit Employee shouldn't take a spot from someone else.)
