On Aug. 12, senior swimmer Ian Simpson fought the 90-degree heat to finish the USA Triathlon Championship race in just under two and a half hours. He placed 461st out of nearly 1,100 male finishers.
The Olympic-length race, held in Omaha, NE, consisted of a one-mile swim, a 25-mile bike and a six-mile run. In an interview with Sportsbeat 94.9’s Grant Pepper on The Pep Talk last week, Simpson said that he came close to his personal best time during the race.
