Mighty Montauk Triathlon

Saturday, June 10, 2006 was the date of the 24th Annual Mighty Montauk Triathlon.

There were 504 finishers in this 1 Mile Swim, 22 Mile Bike and 6.2 Mile Run.

Huntington Masters was well represented, with at least three finishers that I could find. Special congratulations to Don Bond who had a 3rd Place Finish in his age group. Here are the results:

Scott "Wrong Way" Kessler.....2:11:04.0.....(37th Overall Finish)

Don Bond...........2:11:07.7.....(38th Overall Finish)

Tim Sullivan.......2:43:00.8.....(297th Overall Finish)

Based on preliminary weather reports of high wind and cold, damp conditions, (I wasn't actually there), congratulations are due just for competing, much less finishing! Way to Go! And, as usual, if there is anyone that I've missed, please let me know (thanks, Mike)
