Lobsterman Triathlon 2007 Results

Lobsterman Triathlon 2007 Results: Tri-Maine race leader Kurt Perham took the overall win today in the 2007 Lobsterman Triathlon with a winning time of 2:04:33. Perham bested his results over last year's Lobsterman by over 2 minutes on a rain soaked course in scenic Freeport. For Perham, the race was equalized on the bike when he caught second place finisher Milos Janicek of Boston, who was ahead of Perham by a minute coming out of the water. Perham won the race on the run, where he put another minute into Janicek. With his victory today, Perham has cemented the overall title for the Tri-Maine Series Races. Congratulations to Kurt!

Catherine Sterling of Kents Hill, ME edged out the 2006 Lobsterman winner, Kim Webster, by a mere 12 seconds with a winning time of 2:11:00. Sterling was out of the water 2 minutes more quickly than Webster, who closed the gap by a minute coming off the bike and drew within 12 seconds of Sterling on the 10K run. Great race!

Tri-Maine women's leader, Erin Brennan, finished first in her age group (40-44) and 3rd overall among the women with a time of 2:20:37.

OA's very own Dr. Scott Marr finished 30th overall with an impressive time of 2:16:57. Dr. Marr was 3rd overall on the 40K bicycle course.

And Angela Bancroft, featured in this blog earlier this summer, finished first in her age group (35-39) and 62nd overall with a time of 2:24:02. In a quick email exchange with OA, Angela summed up the day pretty well, "It was quite a day out there!!! Lots of fun and challenging! The cold rain made our hands and feet numb which made the
transitions the trickiest part of the day!!! I could Not manipulate my hands to shift, put on a hat or tie my shoes!! Guess those things will improve with experience. I will Never skip the speed laces the next time it rains!" Way to be tough! Great job Angela!
