2nd Annual Pasadena Triathlon


The second annual Pasadena Triathlon returns to the Rose Bowl on March 8, 2008.  The sponsor for this year's race is Whole Foods Market located at 3751 E Foothill Blvd.

This is a reverse sprint distance triathlon starting with a 5k run, followed by a 15k bike, and finishing with a 150m swim in the pool at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center.

The race starts at 8:00am so come out and support Emily (and her family), Andrew, John Meier, John Doyle, Lenny, and any other members or nonmembers of the Caltech Tri Club. Several members did the race last year and those results can be found here. It's definitely a fun race to kick off the year, and nothing is better than racing in your very own back yard!

Post-race update with unofficial results (preliminary results here):
Emily McDowell - 1:09:27 (That's a 30-minute improvement from last year! Way to go Em.)
Emily's mom - 1:22:31
Emily's dad - 1:10:08
Andrew Tchieu - 58:29
John Meier - 54:57 (1st in Clydesdale Div.)
John Doyle - 56:08 (2nd in Age Grp.)
Lenny Lucas - 55:27 (4th in Age Grp.)
Jeremy Emken - 1:00:03 (4th in Clydesdale Div.)
Congratulations to all!
