Chris Leiferman and Suzie Olsen were victorious at the Fairmont Olympic Triathlon for the second consecutive year. And both were significantly faster than in 2009.

I loved the Liberty Tri last year even though I had a bit of a meltdown.
Part of me wanted to go back because I felt like I had unfinished
business there. That said, I heard from many folks that Trinona was a
great new race and the opportunity to be a part of it, help it grow, and

It was my first race of the year so my main goal was just to race hard ...
