About 350 athletes swam, biked and ran the Lake Meridian Triathlon last Sunday.
The race featured three race lengths for both men and women divisions – sprint, super sprint and Olympic.
The sprint and super sprint both consisted of a 16.4-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run, differing only in the swim distances – a quarter-mile for the super sprint and a half-mile for the sprint.
The Olympic course had a 1.5 kilometer (.93 mile) swim, a 40-kilometer (24.8-miles) bike ride and a 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) run.
Brian Falkowski, 40, finished first overall in the men’s super sprint with a time of 1 hour, 8 minutes and 46.9 seconds. Drew Magill, 50, took first in the sprint (1:15:05.4) and Kyle Hooker, 28, won in the Olympic course (1:58:53.8).
For the women, Tammy Barnhart, 45, took first in the super sprint (1:31:18.6), Juliet Hochman, 48, won the sprint (1:23:50.3) and Julie Strong, 34, came out on top in the Olympic (2:21:03.2).
Another Lake Meridian Triathlon is set for Aug. 23. This is the sixth year for the Lake Meridian Triathlon.
