Tantalizing close. He did score shortly this (but I didn’t have the camera out). This was his last game of the season.

Rowan and Una muscled in on some Halloween treats this year!

Also check out photos of Rowan and Una from past Halloweens on my new Flickr site here:

Your one stop shopping for all Rik Keller triathlon/duathlon results this year…

I’m finally finished for the season. I raced 8 duathlon and triathlon events in 2007 from April to November. Highlights were winning all three of the Summer Duathlons at Rancho Seco Park, winning the Golden State Triathlon in Sacramento in October, and getting on the "podium" (top 3 finish) for my age group (AG) in all 8 races. Not bad for my first year of racing…

Here are my results:

- Four overall 1st place finishes, one overall 2nd place, and one overall 3rd place.
- Five 1st place AG finishes, one 2nd place AG, and two 3rd place AG.
