Club biathletes finish sixth
■The Club Sports triathlon team
places sixth in the Wildflower, the
world’s second-largest triathlon
By Jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
It has been deemed the “Wood
stock of Triathlon.”
More 6,000 triathletes competed
in the seconddargest meet in the
world, the Wildflower Triathlon,
last weekend in California, which
attracts more than 27,000 specta
tors every year.
After a 13th place finish last year,
47 minutes, 40 seconds. Times are
based on the top three men and
three women of each team.
“This team’s dedication and
drive took them way farther than I
had initially anticipated,” coach Jay
Williams said. “We were much
more prepared physically and emo
tionally from last year.”
The Ducks competed in the
world-class course Olympic Dis
tance Triathlon, which consists of
a 1.5 kilometer open water swim,
40K bike course and 10K run.
Many of the Oregon athletes
achieved personal records and the
team had a 100 percent finish rate.
Sophomore Eric Gonzales fin
ished first for the Oregon men with
a time of 2:32:22, while second
place went to freshman Dan Wright
in 2:42:36.
For the women, senior Heidi En
gstrom had a personal best with
2:42:19, and second place went to
senior Stefanie Rimel in 2:56:21.
“Each person did the best they
could on that day for that race,”
coordinator and three-time Wild
flower competitor Alisha Siecins
ki said. “It all came together on
that day.”
“Everybody accomplished some
thing huge that day even though
they weren’t expecting to,” senior
Brian Haggerty said.

Sophomore Eric Gonzales, who finished first for Oregon, pushes through the final leg of
the 10K run at the Wildflower Triathlon. The Ducks finished sixth out of 43 teams.
Williams competed for Oregon,
but competed in the long course
triathlon, also known as a “half
ironman.” The course consists of a
1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and
13.1 mile run and is one of the most
challenging courses anywhere.
7 knew whatto expect
and I knew it was going
to hurt physically, but I
couldn’t have asked
ora better race.”
Jay Williams
Club triathlon coach
“I knew what to expect and I
knew it was going to hurt physical
ly, but I couldn’t have asked for a
better race,” Williams said after fin
ishing the race in 5:27:35.
The Wildflower Triathlon had its
20th anniversary this year and
plays host to the best pro athletes in
lie world, including Chris McCor
mack, who captured the long
:ourse title for the second straight
^ear in 4:03:59.
All of Oregon’s athletes put the
one thing into their races which is
mandatory, according to Williams.
“Heart,” he said.
First-time Wildflower competitor
Paul Anhert describes his experi
mce as extremely difficult.
“I was on the bike and going so
aard that I started to have tunnel vi
sion and things got really blurry
md I just powered through it and
finished strong,” Anhert said.
Anhert encountered what expe
rienced triathletes refer to as
‘whitezone.”
