Columbia Multisport showed up in full force to defend their Club Nationals title.
With three races over two days, 283 athletes representing 12 clubs, hailing from Anchorage, Alaska to New York City, proved that teamwork does pay off.
The club championships brought newbies, veterans, sprinters and long course athletes to compete together and earn points towards an overall score. The host of this year’s championship, Columbia Multisport, won the event and welcomed every club to join them in celebrating the excitement of club racing.
Several athletes raced twice over the weekend, first taking part in the Long Course USAT National Championship on Saturday then gearing up again for either the short or intermediate distance race on Sunday.
Notable Doubles:
1st 30-34 F Halfmax and Octomax – Kristin Moore (Big Shark Racing)
1st 55-59 M Halfmax and Octomax – Jim Fuller (Greeley Tri Club)
1st 35-39 M Halfmax and Octomax – Ted Zederik (Columbia Multisport)
1st 30-34 M Halfmax and Quartermax – Adam Zucco (Multisport Madness)
With $10,000 cash on the line, each club brought their “A Game” to all races with Full Throttle Endurance (NYC) taking six first place awards, three second place awards and three third place awards, all with a total of 15 club members.
The overall club, regardless of division, won $5,000. Each first place club in division one through five took home $1,000 cash to help support their club programs and membership.
The announcement of the 2008 Club National Championship will be made later this fall.
