The 2006 American Fork Splash and Dash Triathlon went off without weather delay despite the rainy conditions throughout the previous night in American Fork. Overcast blanketed the area race morning without any rain, giving racers cool fall temperatures to race in.

Athletes lined up along the bubble covered poolside at the American Fork Recreation Center before beginning the bike and run events. Mike Mamales of Salt Lake City was the over-all winner and the only triathlete finishing in less than 1 hour (57 minutes and 14 seconds). His nearest competitor, Eric Johnson of Lindon finished nearly 4 minutes later. Kim Abbott of Draper won the women’s race with a finishing time of 1 hour and 13 minutes, beating Tiffany Clinger by 11 seconds.

In the kids race it was McKay King of American Fork finishing first in 23 minutes and 19 seconds. Morgan King, also of American Fork and McKay’s younger sister finished in second place with a time of 25 minutes and 25 seconds.

Over 150 athletes participated in this late season event.
