Emily doesn't know the password to get onto our blog page yet, so I'll take the liberty of writing a quick post on her win at the City of Portland Triathlon last Sunday.
Em's sister, Kendra, lives in Seattle and signed up for Jeff Henderson's Portland Tri, so Em decided to head out west for the weekend. She had the fastest women's swim and bike and had to hold off a fast-charging Sunny Gilbert (formerly of Boulder, CO) with her fastest 10k ever - 38:19.
Jeff, a friend and former contributer to Inside Tri Mag when I worked there, also puts on the Musselman Triathlon in Westchester, New York and now the first triathlon in downtown Portland. Em's prize for winning the race was a frisbee with the catch phrase, "Yes, I swam in the Willamete" - referring to the dirty downtown river that had swimmers pass under two city bridges.
She will race next at the Longhorn 70.3 in Austin, TX on October 5th.
