6th Annual Phelps Twin Tri a Success

The 6th Annual Phelps Twin Tri took place Saturday morning with a total of 31 participants taking part in the event. This years participants took to the water for an 8k paddle on beautiful North Twin, hopped on their bikes for a 15k bike through the Phelps trails and laced up their shoes for a 5k run through the forest. Amy Thomason, Phelps Chamber of Commerce Director said “The weather held out to make this a great event! We were excited to see several new faces and many returning faces at this year’s event. We always looking forward to the fun, friendly competition that takes place”

This year’s first place team consisted of the oldest participant and the youngest participant! Jack Godding (79) of Eagle River got his team started with the paddle, while Paul Weber (49) of Menasha completed the bike portion and Tess Weber (9) represented her team on the 5k run (1:50). The second place team consisted of Chris Northrup, Dawn Northrup and Linda Martarano (2:07). The third place team consisted of Elisabeth, Mitchell and Eric Sutton (2:10)

Mary Kay Aufrance took first place for the second year in row in the women’s division with a time of 1 hour and 49 minutes. Second place was Lisa Janssen (2:39) and third in the women’s division was Cheryl Schnelle (2:40).
