Hi All,
I write to you from Minnesota, the greenest part of the USA that I have ever seen . We are here for the ultimate in paying races !!! It is the Life time Fitness Triathlon, "battle of the sexes". This is the craziest race. The total prize purse is ....get this $500,000 !!!!! with the winner taking all
(almost) prize purse of $250,000. US
The men are pitted against the women, the women being given a head start calculated by a team of smart people that developed some formula that spat out a time of 11:09. The men thought they were in with a chance at the money after Barb Linquist has walked away with the cash for the past 2 years.
Unfortunately, they didn't take Loretta Harrop into account, as she had a truley amazing race and lead from basically start to finish. She won the race to the tune of "Happy Birthday" as she turned 29 today !!!! What a birthday present !!
Craig Walton finished in 4th overall and won the mens division, followed by Hunter Kemper(USA), Greg Bennett and Bevan Docherty (NZ) 4th male. Craig (wonder boy) had a good race and finished as 7th male. Craig picked himself up a "happy gilmore" check with a nice sum on it.!!!
The race site is www.ltftriathlon.com and the race results are on
www.sommersports.com
Next on the race agenda is a half Iron man in Milwauhkee, Wisconsin. Will keep you posted.
Cheers, Nerida
