A Fine Race Report From Sister Goodman
I am apparently doing Mr. Delaney's job in sending out the Hy Vee Tri race report. The weather was great (slightly breezy from the west, but nothing we couldn't handle) and the course was wonderful!! The food at the finish was very disappointing. And now on with the results:

Chris Delaney 2:44:42
Chris Keenan 2:55:47
Julie Vardaman 2:56:19
