The first question is why does this magazine come to me, but not Jan? I have completed one triathlon, a sprint, while she has done many sprint distance tris, two half-ironmans and will be competing at Lake Placid IM in 2009.
But I did read the newest issue and was surprised by the number of Rochester area triathletes mentioned throughout the magazine. Also, another local connection, Jeff Henderson, race director of the Musselman triathlon, had an article about carbon footprints.
Heidi Grimm, formerly of Rochester, now from Colorado Springs, finished 15th in the ITU Long Distance World Championship in August.
Carl Johnston, of Ontario, NY, won the USA Sprint National Championship masters division at Trumansburg, NY on August 3. Tom Dutton of Livonia, NY won the Grandmaster division. Travis Kuhl, who competes in many Rochester area tris and du's, won the 30-34 age group. Dennis Moriarty won the 50-54 age group.
At the USAT age group Olympic Distance championship, held in Oregon on September 20, Curt Eggers of Henrietta finished 3rd in the 50-54 division. Tom Dutton finished 2nd in the 60-64 division.
These results prove the Rochester NY area has a lot of talented triathletes.
