The only thing I knew about this years St. George Triathlon is that I’d likely be around the same time as last year. Three weeks off in the middle of training didn’t help my preparation, and I think my swimming suffered the most. However, I still managed to PR in the water. Last year I swam almost 33 minutes — this years was 31 and change. I can’t complain about improving.

I thought my bike would be the same. It wasn’t. I was about four minutes slower this year. The course felt way tougher but it was the same beast. I guess everything feels slow when your not in great shape. I pushed just about as hard as I could but never felt great. I did drink a large bike bottle of gatorade. I’ve never drunk this much in an Oly. The big bummer of the bike was to see my friend Tom T. walking his sweet Felt DA. He was cruising along and got a flat. There were several with flats this year.

I almost wanted to quit when I got off of the bike. I’ve tried to remember hard why I would want to quit. My thought is that I remembered how much I suffered during last years run. The course is hilly and it was very hot. I barely made it in. It was tough to think about digging deep when you’ve already given everything to the bike. I thought I’d give myself a chance by running the first mile. Eventually the bad thoughts disappeared and I moved along. Tons of sand was on the course, making it even more difficult. The hill was so hard, but I forced my self to keep running. When I neared the end of the first loop I felt like the course was short. It went by pretty quick and I was excited for the next loop. I ran pretty comfortably preparing for the hill again, but after the hill I pushed it home.

Good day. I really love this sport and the people it surrounds me with.

Held on May 13, 2006, the 2006 St. George Triathlon hosted over 1,000 triathletes from throughout the United States. The race started on a cool spring morning that quickly heated up. Temperatures soared into the upper 90’s as athletes began the difficult run course.

Male overall winners, Dave Ference of the Olympic event and B.J. Christenson of the sprint, won their respective titles very convincingly. Ference beat his closest competitor, Heath Thurston, by nearly two minutes. Christensen distanced himself from his sprint distance runner-up, Guy Perry, by three and a half minutes.

The women’s races were much closer then the men’s. Sarah Jarvis nipped out Debbie Perry in the Olympic event by 21 seconds. Alli Gardner won the women’s sprint event, holding off Nicole Newton by 33 seconds.

The event, now in its sixth year proved to be a huge success.
