RRO Tri Team members Bobby Dixon, Ricardo Garcia and Dan Young gave it all they had on Saturday, June 5th at the Kerr Lake Olympic distance triathlon.  The day was hot and windy, adding additional challenges to the 1500m swim, 40k bike, and 5k run course.  

 

Ricardo had yet another GREAT race, placing 2nd overall with a time of 2:08:20. Ricardo's splits were: 25:27 (swim), 1:02:01 (bike), 39:25 (run)---it's worth noting this was the 2nd fastest run!    And, to top it off, Bobby Dixon put those under-forty whipper-snappers in their place with his 6th place overall finish (2nd Masters) in a time of 2:13:12.  Bobby's splits were: 25:48 (swim), 1:02:26 (bike), 42:22 (run).  Congratulations gentleman!! 

 

Kerr Lake proved to be a tough race for all, especially for Dan Young, whose three race win streak came to an end when he made the smart call to pull out after starting the run due to the effects of over-trained legs.   Some days you have it, some days you don't.  Congratulations, Dan on your effort up until that point- (he was 2nd place overall heading into the run).
