Local Triathletes Take on Canadian Ironman - Aug 2012

Two local triathletes raced the Iron Man Triathlon in Penticton, BC at the end of August 2012. Sebastian Kaltenbach and Lyle Bittman both competed in the full iron man distance triathlon. Sebastian qualified earlier in the season based on his result at a half iron man in which he did very well. Lyle had registered last year for the race. Sebastian's times for the race were as follows: swim 01:03:40, bike 05:17:47, run 04:08:28, total time 10:36:00, age division rank 32rd, overall place 195 out of 2979 competitors. Lyle's times for the race were as follows: swim 01:23:51, bike 07:54:50, run 06:34:06, overall time 16:17:15, age division rank 320th, overall placing 2273rd out of 2979 competitors. Very impressive results by the two local triathletes from Melfort.
