Despite unusual weather conditions that caused the cancelation of the swim, LifeSport Age Group athletes had some incredible performances.
The St. Anthony's Triathlon in St. Petersburg, Florida, is one of the classic Olympic Distance races in the sport and offers an unique "Elite Amateur" division allowing some of the best age group athletes in the world the opportunity to race head to head despite their age classification. LifeSport was incredibly well represented in this division with Chris Thomas of Easton, CT taking the overall victory in the men's division of 80 competitors. Not to be too far outdone, LifeSporter Lindsey Whalen of Chicago, IL, and Stephanie Liles of Tallahassee, FL, finished 2nd and 3rd respectively out of the 62 starters on the women's side. In the Pro race, which did include the swim, Bree Wee finished a strong 8th. Wee, normally a long distance specialist, was pleased to be competitive with the short course athletes and finished with the 2nd fastest bike split of the day. Congratulations to the other LifeSport Age Groupers who competed in St. Anthony's!
