Multisports Orange County (CA)

IRVINE LAKE, CA - Despite the fact that there was no swimming allowed at the first OC Triathlon (renamed the OC Duathlon), at least 23 Nova Masters and Multisports OC members rose to the challenge of the difficult course in Santiago Canyon. It was a great day for a race. The same race organizers as the Pacific Coast Triathlon put on a FIRST CLASS first time event. The venue was excellent and the course was very spectator friendly with at least 3-4 spots to see athletes on the run course each lap. Mark Haskins led the charge for the team with a 5th place overall, showing his awesome training form and improvements are for REAL! He had the 2nd fastest bike split, less than 30 seconds off the overall winners split Kevin Herbert, and even beat Coach Mike on the bike for the 1st time in competition. He was also one of only a handful of male athletes who ran the 2nd run within a minute of their first run - three of those who did finished in the top 5 overall. Congrats to Haskins, Jim Lewis, Art Sousa, Kristen Thorkelson, & Vijay "Sandbag" Sampath who all split their second run within a minute of their first run! Vijay actually ran his second run a minute FASTER. Don't be AFRAID to go fast in your next race, Vijay! Kristen was one of only TWO women who split the second run within a minute of the first. Also thanks to Travis and Carmen from Performance Chiropractic for coming out and working on our athletes before and after the race. See additional photos HERE.
