The 2008 season will soon be upon us, so I thought I'd take a walk down memory lane. I think 2007 was incredible. It seems like every year new athletes come along and surprise us, and some of the veterens keep coming up with phenominal performances. Here are a few of the highlights...
How about TOTAL DOMINATION at the 2007 Grizzly Triathlon! Linsey Corbin 1st place, Jennifer Luebke 2nd and Stefanie Fisher 3rd. In the men, Ben Hoffman, Brendan Halpin and Adam Jensen take it 1,2,3. It was fast and furious.
Rocky Mountain Roubaix: Brendan Halpin 2nd, yours truly 3rd. I would have had him...Howard Williams and Miles Key in a respectable 7th and 10th.
Wildflower: About 10 Stampeders descended onto the course and showed them Californians what Montana Triathlon was all about!
Who can forget IRONMAN Coeur D'Alene! Team Stampede stepped up and performed BIG.
Adam Jensen took 7th in his Pro debut! Former Missoulian and Stampeder, Michael Gordon was 14th, Brendan took his age group, Cincowski, Belkner and Burke all put in solid performances.
Spring Meadow Lake Triathlon. Again, lots more orange. Cinco and Downtown Joel Brown take 2nd and 3rd, Chad latino 7th, Jeanne Veteto and Stefanie Fisher 5th and 6th. Wow!
Tour of the Bitterroot, Star Meadows, Cow Country Classic, and the rest of our racing season. Kyle Shannon dominated in Category 5 and began to make a name for himself in Cat4. John Weyrich got stronger all year, coming back from his injuries, powerhouse Matt Seeley, clearly the strongest guy out there, placed well. Grant Kier hit the off road scene hard and brought home some hardware.
There were so many other competitors that I can't even begin to name them all. Props to all who showed the guts to get out there and participate. The best part about this sport is you are ultimately competing against yourself and your own personal goals. So get after it!
