Too hot to believe, but athletes just do it no matter. The first 25 women to cross the line are listed at the end of the story. More results and more information on the kids triathlon, with photos, will be in next week’s Courier.

This red cap is the first woman out of the water who came in during the men’s top finishers after starting four minutes behind the men. The Courier is not sure if this is winner Cartherine Sterling but her time was way above even most of the men racing. Kids redirect swimmers after the .9 mile swim. Kaitlin Anelauskas of Somerville came in a fast second for the women Saturday.

Cheryl Dufault is another local keeping in shape by competing in the state triathlon.

Seeing a familiar face, Thom Kane, was no surprise. The local superman is not kicking back in retire- ment but keeping up a tough regimen. Veronika Patty making up time on the bike

DONEEN DURLING PHOTOS

Mary Lee Harrington helps racer Morgan Eldridge transition from swimming to bike during the kid’s triathlon. More pictures will be forthcoming in next week’s Courier.
