Multisports Orange County (CA)

OCEANSIDE, CA - Scott Spence and Holly Pack were the top male and female Multisports OC finishers at this first year event which took place at a new location on Camp Pendleton. It was an open ocean swim from ACU-5 - home the "Swift Intruders" Hovercrafts. The surf was BIG and there was a significant northerly current to add to the challenge. Scott Spence, who normally speciallizes in longer distance races, rallied from his traditionally weaker swim to move up to 4th in the 30-34 age group. Holly was the top female age group finisher for the team placing 2nd in 30-34 despite battling a hip issue "a la Floyd Landis", but hopefully without the drugs. Steven Owen placed 3rd in 55-59 and had the fastest swim and run split in his age group. Special congratulations to 1st time triathlon finishers Rob Anthony & Shelby Stanger. Coach Michael Collins took home the "Bonehead Maneuver Award" at the race for locking his keys in the car and sitting in the parking lot for 2-1/2 hours waiting for AAA to arrive. It was a personal record of 6 hours to complete a sprint distance tri that he didn't even start. See photos from the race HERE.
