Labor Day Races in Skaneateles

This weekend was a great weekend of races in Skaneateles. Our newest sponsor Wool Sports teamed up with Mello Velo / BTB to make the weekend awesome.


podiums – skinny man sprint tri & 4mile run

Saturday was the Skinny Man sprint triathlon, where Randy despite coming out of the water an all new slow at 79th place earned 3rd place overall. Wool Sports – Jeff Henderson had a commanding 1st place finish, Jim Eagen of SOS snuck in based on time from the second wave, and Wool Sports – Kristin White came in first as well!
*side note – The Wool Sports Tri top was awesome!

Sunday started with the Escape from the Judge 1 mile open water swim, Randy moved up one whole spot to 78th overall (by running past co-endurancemonster Owen Stokes) after getting out of the lake.

Mid-morning was the Coon Hill Grind up hill, roughly 3mile time trial, where Jim Eagen secured his usual first place, Randy trailing in second by 13 seconds.

By this point it would be a battle to get back up the top portion of the over-all for the whole time cumulative competition that the SkanRaces folks call “I’m All That”. With numerous minutes back, Randy had to run a blazing 4mile race that afternoon to get some minutes back on all the swimmers that had moved up in the standings.

Randy won the Road Race  in 22minutes and change, roughly 5:35 pace, however not quite enough to bust back into the top three of the over all.
