Adding yet another completed summer triathlon to his bag, CRR Steve Tague competed in the USA Olympic Distance Triathlon Nationals in Milwaukee on Sunday, August 9.

Having competed in the nationals at least once before, the 66-year-old Tague simply wanted to “tri” it again, while he felt he still could. Well, he definitely showed well, finishing in the top third (taking 18th place out of the 58 male registrants) in his five-year age group.

Tague swam the 1.5K length in 25:15, an impressive 5th among his age-group peers; biked the 40K course in 1:13:29 (a 20.4 mph average), 17th best in his age group; and ran the 10K in 57:39, 34th among his peer group. Adding transition times of 2:52 and 2:10, respectively, his total time for the event was 2:41:22.

Always a serious competitor, Tague admitted his showing in the 10K hurt his overall placement. He commented, “I did okay. Great swim, average bike, and poor run. No excuses…was healthy, good conditions, just not enough training to be [as] competitive [as he wanted]. Still glad I went, as it was mostly fun until mile 3 of the run.”

We think “I did okay” is simply an understatement! Congratulations on yet a third olympic-distance triathlon in less than three months.

Getting his kicks in the Olympic-distance triathlons this summer is CRR Steve Tague. Not sure if he’s scheduled yet for an August event, but he competed in both June and July in 1.5K swim–40.5K bike–10K run events.

On June 7, Tague did particularly well in the Escape the Cape Olympic Triathlon in Lower Township, N.J. (next to Cape May). He finished 80th out of 500 competitors and won the men’s 65-69 age group. Among his age-group peers, he had the top swim time (22:54), the second fastest bike (1:06:13), and the fourth fastest run (55:54)—and with transitions a total time of 2:33:11.

More recently, on July 19, Tague competed in the New Jersey SuperTri Olympic in Long Branch, N.J., again finishing second among the 65-69 men’s age group. However, he was a bit disappointed, as his times were not as fast as in the Escape the Cape. He again started out well with the second best swim (29:48) and bike (1:14:35) times in his age group. His run was sixth best (57:26), which along with added transition time gave him a 2:47:18 total.

Not too shabby for a senior! I think we can all agree that it’s pretty impressive.

Local triathlete and CRR Steve Tague ventured to the D.C. area and The Big Apple to compete in triathlon events this fall.

In the Reston Triathlon on September 10, Tague bested 22 other competitors in his 60-64 age group in this olympic-distances event (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run). He came in 14th overall out of 282 finishers.

Tague’s swim time was 28:06 (2nd among the 60-64s), his 1:11:00 bike (at 21 mph) was best among his age-group peers, and his 10km run time was 53:00 (3rd among the 60-64s). Adding 2:49 for the two transitions, his total time for the event was 2:34:54.

The New York City Triathlon event on October 1 was changed to a run–bike–run event due to massive flooding in the city. The swim was ditched for an opening mile run, which was followed by the 40km bike and 10km run. Tague finished an impressive 132nd out of 1,048 competitors and 2nd out of 41 finishers in the 60-64 age group.

A good swimmer, Tague reported that he would have won his age group in a traditional triathlon. “The guy that beat me I have [beaten] before, as I take a big chunk out of him in the swim (and a little in the bike) that he can’t quite make up in the run.”

Tague’s opened with a 7:50 mile, biked an age-group best 1:12:38 (20.5 mph), and finished with a 50:26 10km run (8:07/mile). Adding transition times totaling 4:01, his overall time was 2:14:53.

Not too shabby for a 64 year old!

On a cool, windy Saturday, March 25, 319 participants finished the First State Half Marathon, held right here in Newark, Delaware. Among the age-group winners were two Creek Road Runners.

Placing 7th overall and winning the men’s 40-49 division was CRR Andrew Weber, clocking in at 1:20:30*, just a bit over six minutes per mile.

Winning the men’s 70-and-over division was CRR Doug Repetti. Repetti finished 180th overall and 113th among the men in 2:07:09*.

Of note was the the close finish of two other CRRs. CRR Steve Tague finished in 95th overall in 1:50:52*, just 15 seconds ahead of CRR Christina Parsons’ time of 1:51:07*.

Editor’s Note: CRR Mark Deshon got an up-close-and-personal view of this rather unusual out-and-back race, as he handed out water and/or encouragement to the above-mentioned from the turnaround.

On Wednesday, Oct. 20, the University of Delaware held its annual Blue Hens Homecoming 5K. Several Creek Road Runners took advantage of this local race, which is a parking-lot-and-dirt-path course on the Ag & Athletics campus.

Winning the race was 41-year-old CRR Andrew Weber, the younger of our fast-Webers duo, in 17:37. He had competition from another runner in his age group but won by a comfortable 15 seconds. Coming in third overall and taking first in the 20-29 age group was CRR Luke Nigro with a time of 18:14. Placing 12th overall and winning the 60-69 age group was 60-year-old CRR Bruce Weber. The elder Weber’s finishing time of 19:45 gave him an age-grade score of 80.3, which is considered “national class.” Congratulations to these three standouts.

Creek Road Runners took all three places in the men’s 60-69s. Placing second in that age group was CRR Bill Rose, who finished 18th overall in 21:03. Triathlete CRR Steve Tague placed 3rd among his age-group peers and 29th overall in 22:06.

Other Creek Road Runners finishers included CRR Dave Schultz (24:19), CRR Joe Dombroski (28:43), and CRR Shawn Alexander (29:06).
