Under sunny skies, the Bucyrus YMCA held its 13th annual Triathlon on Saturday, May 28th.  The event, which consisted of a 500-yard swim, a 12-mile bike ride, and a 3.5-mile run, welcomed a field of 23 individuals and 7 teams.

 

The overall winner of the Men’s division was Dave Garrett of Fairview Park, OH with a time of 1:00:31.  Winning the Female division was Laura Rhoades of Van Wert, OH in a time of 1:14:49.  

In the Team divisions, Team Barr from Dublin, OH, won the Coed Team,  the Mansfield Tri's 2 Du from Mansfield, OH won the Female Team, and the Madison from Mansfield, OH, won the Men's Team.  The top Crawford County Male was Joe Noblet of Galion, OH.
 

Our  participant numbers were down a little bit again this year.  Start working on your friends now for next year--tell them about the beautiful weather, the great cookies and snacks, and the friendly folks (then just mention in passing that they might need to swim, bike, and run a little).
