Chris Leiferman and Suzie Olsen were victorious at the Fairmont Olympic Triathlon for the second consecutive year. And both were significantly faster than in 2009. Chris's 2:03:26 was a 5:25 improvement; Suzie's 2:29:35 was 8:27 quicker than a year ago. Lynette Bacon defended her Sprint title, doing so in a time that was 3:42 better last year's. The men's Sprint was won by Kevin Leiferman, Chris' little brother....RESULTS

The same three guys who made the podium at last year's Lake Minnetonka Triathlon did likewise at today's version--the

Lovaas's 2nd place time would have been 10-15 seconds-or-so faster had he not botched two "flying mount" attempts, wrestled with a uncooperative pedal and had...

I was very torn between racing the Liberty 1/2 and Trinona this year.
I loved the Liberty Tri last year even though I had a bit of a meltdown.
Part of me wanted to go back because I felt like I had unfinished
business there. That said, I heard from many folks that Trinona was a
great new race and the opportunity to be a part of it, help it grow, and

It was my first race of the year so my main goal was just to race hard ...

The OptumHealth Performance Manitou Triathlon took on a new look this year. 
Visually we used the event to introduce the world to OptumHealth Performance (formally SCS Multisport).

The 2010 edition of the Trinona Triathlon unfolded under gray and cloudy skies which kept temperatures comfortable and in the 60's throughout the 
race.
