Susan Competes in Her First Triathalon- Finishes FIRST!!!


Defying the skeptics and naysayers, a 53-year old woman today ran in her first triathalon and finished first...in her division. She easily defeated her opponents...err...opponent on a fall-like day at Hagg Lake outside Portland. Said the victorious Susan Ristau upon completing her first "Tri" in first, "I going home to kick my husband's ass!"

Congratulations, Susan. On to Kona...
