1st Annual Mutant Triathlon: The Results

Click on pictures to enlarge

The 1st Annual Mutant Triathlon was held last Saturday on June 27. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day, especially after the original date was postponed due to crappy weather. It turned out to be a fierce competition. Chiron seemed to be favorite to win (Forest: "I'm starting to think Chiron may emerge victorious!") but after the swim, Mark had a generous lead. Unfortunately he blew it by taking a shower, drying off and then leisurely put on his shoes like he was Mr. Rogers. Chiron followed Mark and was out of the HQ so fast our photographer couldn't snap a picture. Jed followed next with John close behind him. Goody came next followed by Hans. Hans was thirsty but there was no water out so he hydrated the way a true mutant would: with Coors Light. Jack beat Greg in the swim but Greg beat him to the HQ and was off on his bike towards the pier before Jack finished his Coors Light (WAJ!).

The bike stage was next. The mutants had to ride their bikes to the Newport pier, round the globe, get a mustache from Annika and Melody, and ride back. Chiron led the bike ride followed closely by Jed, John, Hans, Goody, and then Greg. The mutants then went on their run but Jack had still not returned from the bike leg. I guess he stopped at his house, had a cocktail and took a nap. He earns the "Most Mutated Award"

And now for the official results of the First Annual Mutant Triathlon:

First Place: Chiron


Second Place: Jed


Third Place: John

Fourth Place: Hans

Fifth Place: Goody

Sixth Place: Greg

Seventh Place: Dark
