Amador County - Fifteen competitors ranging in age from 21-67 put their endurance to the test during New York Fitness’ (NYF) first annual mini-triathlon held August 7th and 8th on the grounds of the business. The competition began with an 8.3 mile virtual tour on the Expresso stationary bikes, followed by a looped 3.2 mile run, then commenced with a .42 mile swim equivalent to 30 lengths of the 25 yard lap pool. Many athletes were challenged with one segment or another of the mini triathlon, however men’s overall winner, Jim Brown, of Pioneer and women’s overall leader, Ellen Devlin, of Beaverton, Oregon showed true athleticism and strength in all 3 events. Brown completed the tri in a stellar 1:02:06 clinching the men’s 36-55 age division. Just 3 minutes off that pace was NYF’s own, Mike Nesler, recording a personal best time of 1:04:55. Devlin took the women’s 36-55 age category with a remarkable 1:15:38 . On her heels was 21-35 age division leader, Kerry Maxedon of Pine Grove with a 1:17:30. Based on positive feedback and enthusiasm, NYF plans to host a second annual mini triathlon in summer 2011! Readers can visit New York Fitness on Facebook to view photos of the event.
