2009 Macon Triathlon
Last weekend, the Stien Mountain Triathlon Team traveled to Macon for the Rock N Rollman. John, Donovan and Steve competed in the Half Ironman and Ann and Ann H., the sprint. It was another strong showing for Stien Mountain, as Ann was 3rd overall Masters (5th overall), Ann H. was 3rd in her age group, John was 1st in his age group (11th overall despite being injured) and Steve and Donovan finished their first Half Ironman in respectable time with limited training.
Ann H. is zipping up Stiv's wetsuit before the 1.2 mile swim. The Stien's were their usual speedy swimmers, as Ann was the second woman out of the water and John was top ten. Steve had his best swim ever and was only about a minute behind Donovan.
The "Anns" holding the latest hardware for the Stien Mountain Triathlon Team! 
Here is Stiv pretending to look strong near the finish of the 13.1 mile run in 90 degree heat and 5:44 of racing.
Check out the new uniforms that John had made for everyone...very cool! Notice the deer in the headlights look on Steve's face.
As usual, the kids had fun running around the event grounds during the race as Grandma and Grandpa Stien kept watch. We are convinced that someday soon, they are going to disappear and not return until the kids are old enough to watch themselves! This was a long hot day and we have to say THANKS for the help! 
We've had a set of geese spending part of the year in our neighborhood, and last week they decided to spend the week crapping all over our yard! So we did the only thing a good neighbor would do... we started to feed them in our neighbor Rich's yard! The genius plan worked perfectly!!!

Thanks a lot for the geese, Steve. We appreciated the neighborly gesture. Now if I can only find a way to chase the mosquitoes from our yard to yours, we'll be even ....
