Lorain Triathlon

NCN Racing's Lorain Triathlon at Lakeview Park in Lorain started out stormy but quickly turned into another beautiful day on Lake Erie in Lorain. By the time sprint and international runners started, the sun was shining brightly again for a photo finish. Participants came from all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana. Scenes from the Lorain Triathlon, Sunday, August 26.

We get by with a little help from our friends!
LCVB team members Rona Proudfoot, Mark Kernohan, Jim Janasko,Jim Galloway and Zach Collins (Barb Bickel not pictured). See more of the Lorain Triathlon and Rona's great photos here. Not only can she run, but she's quickly gaining well-deserved notice for her awesome photos, especially of Lorain. Both LCVB teams won first in their team classes!

The event went off beautifully. It was a great showcase of lake erie, our downtown area, and our backroads. I was pleasantly surprised at how many out of town visitors we had to this race! Lorain County should be very proud of this event. There were quite a few out of towners who were very interested in coming back to ride the entire Back Roads and Beaches route. On a personal note: a one quarter mile swim is significantly longer than it sounds.
