Come by and see us at the Expo at the Civic Center from 10am to 5pm on Saturday. You can learn about our club and the sport of Triathlon, or just come to say "Hi". TriRochester will also be running the mile 10 waterstop on the marathon and half marathon on Sunday.
Good Luck Runners!!!
The Apple Duathlon in Sartell, MN was one of the few races selected as a qualifier for the 2013 ITU Duathlon World Championships in Ottawa, Canada. This annual tradition is in its 31st year and once again drew a competetive field to race the 5k, 33k, 5k Duathlon. We had three members racing and all three qualified for the World Championship race. Nice job!!

Photo Credit: Mario Franzone Rochester athletes made a good showing at the Apple Duathlon in Sartell, MN on Saturday, May 25th. There was a competitive field with duathletes from 32 states. All four Rochester athletes qualified to compete at the Duathlon World Championships in Ottawa, Canada in August. (Top 6 finishers in each age group qualify.)
The weather forecast looked wet and dismal on Friday evening, but the morning was dry and comfortably cool for racing. The last leg of the bike portion was challenging due to a strong headwind on the long stretch by the Mississippi River.
Lynne Wodrich qualified in the most competitive age group for women riding her new (and first) tri bike.
Jim Hannon was the only one to bring a red granite apple trophy back to Rochester… the rest of us may have to run/ride for the apple again next year.
