Andy’s Roundup- Historic Performances at a N.H. Triathlon…and more
Marshmallow Man Triathlon- There are no official records for New Hampshire road races and triathlons but it would appear history was set at the Marshmallow Man triathlon on Saturday, August 2. At the sprint race in Laconia (.25 mile swim, 14 mile bike, 5K run) 61 year old Bruce Butterworth of Hampton was the winner, making him possibly the oldest individual to win a New Hampshire race. With a time of 1:12:09 Butterworth won Marshmallow Man for the second year in a row. Laconia’s Deidre Cullen was the women’s winner in 1:15:10. Cullen was second overall and Tracey Harris of Marblehead, Massachusetts, Manchester’s Meagan Boucher, and Lisa Marquis of Weston, Massachusetts finished third through fifth overall. That gave females four of the top five overall spots possibly a Granite State record for most women in the top five overall at a race.
