In the South Bay, seasoned triathlets Robin Van Vliet and Mike Wilson, along with first-time triathlete Michael Burdick, participated in a season warm-up sprint distance triathlon.
The race consisted of a short 500M swim, 20K bike ride, and 5K run along the port of Redwood City. Once again, another solid performance by all racers was had.
Robin Van Vliet grabbed 2nd place in her division (1st place bike portion).
Both Mike and Michael finishing respectively within their age group’s top 25!!
With Oceanside 70.3 approaching for Mike Wilson in a few weeks, and Wildflower around the corner for all, it served as a great practice race to get the early season jitters shaken out. Look out for all these competitors as the 09 season progresses.
