These are some excellent times on a course that demanded speed, power, endurance and in reference to kayaking, technique. Alex Marsh came in second in the run, 4th in the kayak but then had a blistering time on the mountain bike section to catapult himself to victory. Alex had a cross-bike with barely legal size tires (but they were!) but he better be looking for a mountain bike next year because the requirements will change. Jake asked if he could just keep running instead of kayaking since he was the first in the water following a sub 20 minute 5-K but then was last out of the water. Regardless of athletic ability, there is a knack to kayaking but all the competitors caught on since there was plenty of time to on the 4 1/2 mile course. The bicycle times on this route were excellent because although there are no hills, the constant friction of the gravel surface soon gets to your legs, especially as the time approaches an hour. Joe Heart, at age 59, had an excellent run as did Brian Donahue.
Matt and Brian's positions are mixed. The transition time from the run to kayak is in seconds with the exception of Pat who must have went out for a beer between events. Old Dog
